Please explain why and how a PHY may not appear to be present using
C22 frames to read the ID registers, but does appear to be present
when using C22 frames to the C45 indirect registers - and summarise
which PHYs have this behaviour.

It seems very odd that any PHY would only implement C45 indirect
registers in the C22 register space.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
