That is really core of the problem here. We have no reliable
description of the hardware. The datasheet often starts with a block
diagram of the PHY package. Sometimes there is a product brief with
the same diagram. We need that published. I'm not asking for the full
data sheet, just the introductory text which gives a high level
overview of what the hardware actually is. Then we can sketch out a
high level Linux architecture for the PHY package.
