+description: |
+ Some QorIQ and Layerscape SoCs have an additional block on each SerDes
+ networking lane, based on an IP core from MoreThanIP, which performs IEEE
+ 802.3 clause 73 base page exchanges (for auto-negotiation) and clause 72
+ training frame exchanges (for link training).
+
+ By default, this AN/LT block comes up with auto-negotiation disabled, and
+ in that case it allows itself to be quickly bypassed from the data path and
+ for the PCS link to come up without its involvement.
+
+ Software can optionally make use of it, to turn the PCS, AN/LT block and lane
+ (PMA/PMD) into a full copper backplane internal PHY.
+
+ As a warning, the binding for the multi-lane link modes (40GBase-KR4) is not
+ currently backed up by a driver implementation.

+ The address of the AN/LT block within the internal MDIO bus of the MAC it
+ is attached to.
+
+ In the 1000Base-KX and 10GBase-KR link modes, the AN/LT block responds at
+ the same MDIO address as the PCS (determined by the SGMIInCR1[MDEV_PORT]
+ or SXGMIInCR1[MDEV_PORT] registers of the SerDes block, by default 0).
+ The PCS and AN/LT block respond to different MMDs, though.
+
+ In the 25GBase-KR and higher link modes, the AN/LT block responds at a
+ different MDIO address than the PCS, determined by the
+ ANLTnCR1[MDEV_PORT] register of the SerDes block. By default this is 4
+ for lanes A and E, 5 for lanes B and F, 6 for lanes C and G, 7 for lanes
+ D and H.
+
+ The PCS responds in all cases at the address determined by the MDEV_PORT
+ field of the SGMIInCR1, SXGMIIaCR1, E25GaCR1, E40GaCR1, E50GaCR1 or
+ E100GaCR1 registers of the SerDes block.
