1 = Loop back mode
0 = normal operation
When this bit set, IP178C/IP178CH 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.

Restart Auto- Negotiation
1 = re-starting Auto-Negotiation
0 = Auto-Negotiation re-start complete
Setting this bit to logic high will cause IP178C/IP178CH 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.
