Yeah that probably helps if you've dealt with dm814x earlier :)
Just don't look at the dm816x trm, only the errata pdf works for
dm816x phy.

Note that we still are missing basic support for dm814x in mainline,
I'm planning to tackle that at some point but I don't know when I'm
going to get to it..
