Scratch that. The specification of the management bus comes after the register
description in the datasheet, not before :). I just noticed that. It *is* a sort
of MDIO, sorry about that. But they send 32 bits of data instead of the regular
16 of MDIO.

Anyway, identification of the F and L chips is at PHY address 0, register 0, and
is 0x00071010 as I said. But because they send 32 databits instead of 16, I'm
not sure what you would actually see if you just search the MDIO bus from your
MAC. Still, it's completely different from the chip ID of the ADM6996M.
