I was looking into that, but from the looks of it these drivers are small
because only the functions that differentiate the PHYs need be defined.
So there is very little common code between them.

I'm going to be brining up a couple more PHYs soon, so I'll keep this in mind
and try to find any redundancy that can be merged when working on these.

Thanks,
Andrew
