I've not yet looked at how this is used. Returning 0 could have
interesting effects i guess? INTERNAL clearly does have some sort of
path between the MAC and the PHY, so i think 1 would be a better
value. NA is less clear, it generally means Don't touch. But again,
there still needs to be a path between the MAC and PHY, otherwise
there would not be any to touch.

Why did you pick 0?

Have you tried without a default: ? I _think_ gcc will then warn about
missing enum values, which will help future developers when they add
further values to the enum.
