As we discuss after this mail on IRC, this register is dedicated to EMAC.

Ok I will move them.

The unit is unknown to me, but I have added a comment for the default and acceptable range value.

Yes, I have reworked the "variant" of the driver for easily handling this.

Moved also in the phy node.
