GET_PHY_ID(9) Network device support GET_PHY_ID(9)NAME
get_phy_id - reads the specified addr for its ID.
SYNOPSIS
int get_phy_id(struct mii_bus * bus, int addr, u32 * phy_id, bool is_c45, struct phy_c45_device_ids * c45_ids);
ARGUMENTS
bus
the target MII bus
addr
PHY address on the MII bus
phy_id
where to store the ID retrieved.
is_c45
If true the PHY uses the 802.3 clause 45 protocol
c45_ids
where to store the c45 ID information.
DESCRIPTION
In the case of a 802.3-c22 PHY, reads the ID registers of the PHY at addr on the bus, stores it in phy_id and returns zero on success.
In the case of a 802.3-c45 PHY, get_phy_c45_ids is invoked, and its return value is in turn returned.

DESCRIPTION
Media Independent Interface is an IEEE standard serial bus for connecting MACs (network controllers) to PHYs (physical media interfaces).
The mii layer allows network device drivers to share support code for various PHY models, and allows unused support for PHYs which are not
present in a system to be removed from the kernel.
Network device drivers which use the mii layer carry the ``mii'' autoconfiguration attribute. This allows kernel configuration files to sim-
ply specify PHYs as described above in the synopsis.
The following is an example of the messages displayed when a network interface with an attached PHY is detected by the kernel:
epic0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: SMC EPIC/100 Fast Ethernet
epic0: interrupting at kn20aa irq 4
epic0: SMC9432TX, Ethernet address 00:e0:29:07:17:c4
qsphy0 at epic0 phy 3: QS6612 10/100 media interface, rev. 1
qsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
All PHY drivers display the media types supported by the PHY when it is detected by the kernel. These media types are valid media keywords
for use with the ifconfig(8) program.
