> The AC200 and AC300 contain compatible Fast Ethernet link PHYs which

> fixed at 16 plus the link address.

> Describe both variants as Ethernet PHY packages. The package reg value is

> package offset helpers. The AC200 package instead references its MFD.

> Give fixed hardware variant-specific compatibles. Also provide an ACx00

> NVMEM field containing calibration in bits 3 through 0, the AC300 selector
> in bit 8 and its low-calibration selector in bit 9. Such a description
> contains the potential resources for both backends; the driver consumes
> only those selected by the configuration field.
