Subject: Query: Regarding 8211E Phy module support in drivers/net/phy

Hi Peppe,

This regarding the patch prepared by you for adding RTL8211E support in
drivers/net/phy/realtek.c

commit ef3d90491a15f0d5cf1ec39a38a45dac6968fb2a

    net: phy: realtek: add rtl8211e driver
    
    This patch adds the minimal driver to manage the
    Realtek RTL8211E 10/100/1000 Transceivers.

I see a macro specific to 8211E:
+#define        RTL8211E_INER_LINK_STAT 0x10

I was having a look at the RTL8211E(G) datasheet and could see
the following bit positions for INER register (Address 0x12):

[7:1] as Reserved
[0] as Jabber Interrupt

If I am not wrong a value 0x10 written to the INER register tries to set bit [4] which seems
Reserved.

Or am I missing something here.
Please let me know your views on the same.

Thanks,
Bhupesh
