So you have a choice of one PHY, since i don't know of any other PHY
with this capability. I hope this is well documented, since PHYs tend
to be considered interchangeable, use whatever is currently the
cheapest. And i assume you will fix the MAC for the next version of
the silicon?

So all these clock invert properties are fine.

I will take another look at the delay property..
