Ah.. I too looked into it. Its a mistake. I suggested for correction of document internally. Also requested team to add
SQI register set in register document that is published.

I don't think it will work, each phy may have different register set and may or may not supports SQI.
Also it contains drivers of too old and that may not support SQI.

Apart from this lan8814 is quad port phy and register set is completely different from other drivers.
