Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the information. Please see my reply below.

Microchip's LAN865x is a 10BASE-T1S MACPHY and Analog Devices's ADIN1110 
is a 10BASE-T1L MACPHY. So as you said 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial 
Interface Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group can be 
applicable for both of the devices. I also noticed that ADI's datasheet 
says ADIN1110 supports OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY serial
interface.
https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/adin1110.pdf

But in my first glance in their driver code, I don't see any code block 
which implements 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification 
defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group. Or do I miss anything here?. My code 
reference is below FYR,
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc2/source/drivers/net/ethernet/adi/adin1110.c

OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification cab be 
downloaded from the below link,
https://opensig.org/automotive-ethernet-specifications/

I think Alexandru Tachici from ADI would be able to give us more 
information on this direction.

As I mentioned above, in my first glance in their driver code, I don't 
see any code block which implements 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface 
Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group. Let's Alexandru 
Tachici from ADI gives us more info on this.

Of course, if their device supports OPEN Alliance then we can use this 
oa_tc6.c framework to support other 10BASE-T1x MACPHY's as well.

Ok thanks.
