0
The loopback function enables RGMII transmit data to be routed to the
RGMII receive data path.
0
Speed Select bit 0.
In forced mode, i.e. when Auto-Negotiation is disabled, bits 6 and 13
determine device speed selection.

Isolate
1: Power down (only Management Interface and logic active, link is down)
0: Normal operation
Isolate.
1: RGMII interface is isolated; the serial management interface (MDC,
MDIO) is still active. When this bit is asserted, the RTL8211C(L) ignores
TXD[3:0], and TXCLT inputs, and presents a high impedance on TXC,
RXC, RXCLT, RXD[3:0].
