Hi Russell

Well, actually, there are automotive PHYs which use just one pair, so
called T1 PHYs. We have drivers for i think two so far, with one more
on the way.

You also have to watch out for 'clever' PHYs. The Aquantia PHY can do
1000Base-T2, i.e. 1G over two pairs. This might be a proprietary
extension, rather than standardized, but it shows it can be done. So
you have to be careful about assumptions based on the number of pairs.
