Hi Andrew,
This block includes MII and MMD1 registers, which mainly configure the 
PLL clocks, reset and calibration of the interface sgmii, there is no 
related Clause 73 control register in this block.

Normally it is the hardware behavior, driver do not need to configure 
these registers, adding this interface fifo reset is for avoiding the 
packet block issue in some corner case.

it seems there is no open datasheet after searching the internet, but 
you can get the basic information of qca8081 from the following link.

Thanks,
