It's entirely possible that the 3310 switches to different hardware blocks for 2.5G and 5G speeds, and reading _just_ the 1.4 register is not sufficient.I agree with you but in that particular case, I think we are reading from the correct device. The datasheet itself says that we should be reading 1.4 and 1.11 as we expect, with 2.5G/5G support being set (these registers are read-only, and the datasheet's values aren't what we actually read).No, you missed what I was saying. The 88x3310 is a hybrid device. It contains multiple instances of each individual device at different offsets in each MMD address space.
Ah I see, I indeed thought you refered to the MMDs. [...]
The exception seems to be the PMA/PMD MMD which I've only discovered a single instance.
Yes there only seems to be one. There are some other registers in the 1.0xCxxx range, but those who are documented don't help a lot with determing wether or not these modes are supported. I wonder if these values are correctly reported in newer PHY firmware revisions. I've checked other PCS instances, but it seems the one at 3.0x0xxx is the one used in 2.5/5GBASET. I've tested with other PHYs from this family, it looks like they are derivatives of the 33x0 design, with the addition/removal of internal IPs. Since the 2110 returns the correct values and has a similar design, with the PMA returning the correct abilities, I think we are reading from the correct instance.
