Loop back
R/W
1 = Loopback mode
0 = normal operation
When this bit set, IP175A LF will be isolated from the
network media, that is, the assertion of TXEN at the MII will
not transmit data on the network. All MII transmission data
will be returned to MII receive data path in response to the
assertion of TXEN.

1 = 100Mbps
0 = 10Mbps
It is valid only if bit 0.12 is set to be 0.

RW
1 = Auto-Negotiation Enable
0 = Auto-Negotiation Disable
If port 4 is a fiber port, FXSD higher than 0.6v, this bit is fixed
at 0.

1 = re-starting Auto-Negotiation
0 = Auto-Negotiation re-start complete
Setting this bit to logic high will cause IP175A LF to restart
an Auto-Negotiation cycle, but depending on the value of bit
0.12 (Auto-Negotiation Enable). If bit 0.12 is cleared then
this bit has no effect, and it is Read Only. This bit is
self-clearing after Auto-Negotiation process is completed.

1 = full duplex
0 = half duplex
It is valid only if bit 0.12 is set to be 0.
