All LAN8814 Macros that carries bit numbers are ending with _ in this driver. So following same.

This register values are present in GPHY hard macro as below

4.2.225	DCQ Control Register
Index (In Decimal):	EP 1.230	Size:	16 bits

Can you give me the name of the datasheet which you are following, so that I'll check and let you know the reason.

Yes channel mask is for wire pair.

I found in below link is that, get_SQI returns sqi value for 100 base-t1 phy's
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200519075200.24631-2-o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/

In lan8814 phy only channel 0 is used for 100base-tx. So returning SQI value for channel 0.
