Err, MPHY means two BI-DIRECTIONAL PHYs!  Why have different PHYs for rx
and tx?

Sounds right.  You will really have to read the MPC862UM quite closely
to implement MPHY since the APC layout is quite different.

No, there's no problem.  Read the MPC862UM. the ectbase pointer takes
into account the fact that the channel numbers start at 32.
