Yes.
All eTSEC uses the eTSEC1 region to access the mdio bus for external 
PHYs. Port eTSEC1 3 regions (Ethernet reg, External phy access, TBI 
interface) are in fact just one region.

For eTSEC2, the Ethernet registers and TBI interface are mapped by the 
same region but are not the same as the other port regions.
The same applies for eTSEC3.

For TSEC version 2, the mapping is a bit different.

I will  implement your suggestions below.
