I used the 5325M-DS113-RDS datasheet for this code initially but the 
5325E-DS14-R datasheet shows that this register is defined. It's not 
clear to me how to differentiate the two kinds of switches. The 5325M 
would report itself as:

0x00406330

in the integrated PHY PHYSID1/2 registers, whereas a 5325E would report 
itself as 0x0143bc30. Maybe we can use that to key off the very first 
generation 5325 switches?
