Hi, Andrew.

There are two type of phys we are using, rtl8211f and "Marvell 88E1512".
"Marvell 88E1512" has already supported loopback
(f0f9b4ed2338 ("net: phy: Add phy loopback support in net phy framework")).
So now we adds loopback support to the rtl8211f.
 From the data sheet other phys should support this loopback as well, but
we have no way to verify it. What's your suggestion?

Thanks:)
