Full-duplex LED
In LED mode 1, Its low output indicates that the internal PHY is operated
in full-duplex mode, or it is floating for the half-duplex mode of the
O,PD internal PHY
In LED mode 0, Its low output indicates that the internal PHY is operated
in 10M mode, or it is floating for the 100M mode of the internal PHY
Note: LED mode is defined in EEPROM setting.
General Purpose output pins:
These pins are output only for general purpose that are configured by
register 1Fh.
O,PD
GP6 pin also act as trap pin for the INT output type.
When GP6 is pulled high, the INT is Open-Drain output type;
Otherwise it is force output type.
