May I know what datasheet version that has the bits 2:0's detail explanation? The version that I have, bits 2:0 in MAC Specific Control Register 2 shows as Reserved.
The datasheet I have is "Marvell Alaska 88E1510/88E1518/88E1512/88E1514 Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Energy Efficient Ethernet Transceiver Rev. G December 17, 2021"

Really appreciate if you could advice on PHY loopback enabling for Marvell 88E1510 because the existing genphy_loopback() function doesn't work for the PHY.

Thank you.
