That again sounds like something Linux specific rather than a hardware
property.
Yes, indeed.  Isn't it redundant with the phy_id?

Ben.
phy_id is part of slave data and will be present for both the slaves.
so phy_id cannot be used for get/set phy setting until phy framework
allows to change settings without going through eth interface.
