Hi Andrew,
These registers belong to the KSZ87xx switch address space, accessed 
through the switch’s indirect access mechanism. In particular, the 
offsets used here correspond to entries within the TABLE_LINK_MD_V 
indirect table of the KSZ8-family switches.

In the next revision I will switch to using ksz8_ind_write8(), and I 
will also replace the remaining magic values with proper register macros.

Best regards,
Fidelio
