Register 2 and 3
Each PHY has an unique identifier, which is assigned to the device.
The identifier contains a total of 32 bits, which consists of the following: 22 bits of a 24bit organizationally unique
identifier (OUI) for the manufacturer; a 6-bit manufacturer’s model number; a 4-bit manufacturer’s revision number.
For an explanation of how the OUI maps to the register, please refer to IEEE 802-1990 clause 5.1.
There is physically only one of each of these registers for all six network(MDI) ports. When reading this register
the port number is ignored.
