Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register: Register 4
This register contains the advertisement ability of the PHY. It is used by software to determine the
highest common denominator technology after the auto-negotiation process has finished. Any
changes to this register prior to auto-negotiation must be followed by setting the Renegotiate bit in
the Command register.

Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register: Register 5
This register holds the link code word captured from the link partner’s PHY (in other words, the
device at the other end of the link segment). Its value is valid only when the Auto-Negotiation
