There is an additional datasheet for RTL8226B/RTL8221B called
"SERDES MODE SETTING FLOW APPLICATION NOTE" where this sequence to
setup interface and rate adapter mode, and also the sequence to
disable (H)SGMII in-band-status are described.

However, there is no documentation about the meaning of registers
and bits, it's literally just magic numbers and pseudo-code.
