I've also looked, and indeed the layout is very smiliar. The key
differences would be that the TSE PCS is limited to 1G max and 8/10bit
encoding, whereas the lynx seems to support BaseR and higher speeds.

I'll add it, thanks.

>From my tests, this is something this block needs :/ A soft reset on
this PCS will reset the comma detection and encoding logic, and the
testing I've done needs that for proper autoneg, especially when we
switch back and forth between SGMII/1000BaseX.

The TSE PCS support in dwmac-socfpga also does it, and this was
developped independently to this driver, so it looks like folks who
worked on that also found the same behaviour...

This might be worth adding a comment then :)

Oh yes indeed, I this this whole line isn't necessary at all as a
matter of fact :/

Thanks for the review,
