So, if we want to report the ID of the PHY, then really we need to report the clause 22 ID, and at least all the devids of each MMD in a clause 45 PHY. Alternatively, we may decide it isn't worth the effort of reporting any of these IDs. However, reporting just the clause 22 ID would be a design error IMHO.
I don't have any strong reason to keep exporting the PHY id. Reporting the driver name is enough to get a good idea of the nature of the device, I'll drop that field then. Thanks for taking a look, Maxime
