Could you explain the architecture in a bit more detail.

When i see MAC code messing with a PHY, i normally say move it into
the PHY driver. But its not clear to me if you are talking about the
real PHYs here, or this is the switch end of the link, and it has some
sort of a PHY to talk to the quint PHY?
