Ok I'll use /sys/class/leds

I'm not an expert on this but it seems that if the PHY's Serial Management
interface is not available, it is possible to build PCF (PHY Control Frame)
packets that will be passed to PHY through the MAC Transmit Data 
interface. The
PHY is then able to intercept and interpret these packets. Enabling it 
increases
the MII Transmit packet latency.
You'll find details in §5.4.6 of datasheet

Ok I'll do that also, thank you.
