From my experience with Marvell I don't think it's that odd.
Particularly for a 1G SERDES there's really not much that needs
configuring (although power up/down would be nice). I'll poke around
that register space to see if anything is there.

Will do. I'll expand out at least to cover the 88E6185 in v2. I can
probably guess at the 88E6122 aside from the ability to power up/down
the rest looks the same from glancing the datasheets.
