MDI - MII management data_in
Used by the AX88141 to read data from the PHY
MII - MII management operation mode
Defines the operation mode (read or write) of the PHY.
MDO - MII Management write data
Specifies the value of the data that AX88141 writes to the PHY
MDC - MII Management clock
MII management data clock (MII_MDC) is an output signal to the PHY. it is used as a timing reference.

4.2.13 General -Purpose Timer (REG11)
1.
This register contains a 16 bit general-purpose timer. It is used mainly by the software driver for
timing functions not supplied by the operating system. After the timer is loaded, it starts
counting down . The expiration of the timer causes an interrupt in REG5<11>.
2.
If the timer expires with the CON bit on, the counter will load itself automatically with the last
value. The timer is not active in snooze mode.
