Pavel,
1. Commit bfa5e98c9de4 added new device ID for i225/226 parts. Commit 
79cc8322b6d8 just fixed number for IGC_DEV_ID_I226_K. This number comes 
from NVM and PCIe configuration space initialized with this number. (In 
case you will use wrong number SW won't work)
2. Regards PHY_ID: here is two things:
i225/i226 parts have only one PHY (there is no option for another PHY)
some unit upon specific power up condition could wrong represent PHY ID 
and we do not want block SW.
3. phy->type - just clean. you indeed can skip it.
