Thats again because of this product has tightly integrated MAC+Phy.
MAC FW controls system interface and reports/alters link state
as a joint state on copper and SIF (even in dpa direct phy mode).

We can't extract phy api into a standalone fully functional phylib therefore.
Also as far as I know this particular phy is not available in the wild.
