On the LAN8710A I have here, it reads as 0x40.  That bit is "reserved"
without a specified value on the LAN9500A.  On LAN8740A (which also has
a different ID value), it controls Energy Efficient Ethernet

Even if they are different today (I don't seem to have a LAN9500A to
check), nothing guarantees that this will remain the case with future
versions of the chips.
