Ugh didn't think about it... The switch address is shared with the PHY
so yes this is a problem.

Consider that this page thing comes from my speculation... Not really
use if 1f select page...

0x0 PHY page
0x1 this strange EXT
0x4 acess switch register (every PHY can access the switch)

For some reason part of the LED are controlled by the switch and some
are by the PHY. I still have to investigate that (not giving priority to
it... just on my todo)

For downshift as you notice it's a single bit with no count...
>From their comments in the original driver it's said "Enable HW
autodownshift"

Trying to reach them but currently it's all very obscure.
