Clock select
Used by the clock divide logic in creating the MII
management clock, which (per the IEEE 802.3u
standard) can be no faster than 2.5 MHz.
Note: Some PHYs support clock rates up to 12.5
MHz.
The AHB bus clock is used as the input to the clock
divide logic. See the “Clocks field settings” table for
settings that can be used with AHB clock (hclk)
frequencies.
D01 R/W SPRE 0
Suppress preamble
0 Causes normal cycles to be performed
1 Causes the MII Management module to perform
read/write cycles without the
32-bit preamble field. (Preamble suppression is
supported by some PHYs.)
D00 R/W Not used 0 Always write to 0.
