Took a while but for the 54210E reference board here are the numbers,
your mileage will vary depending on the supplies, regulator efficiency
and PCB design around the PHY obviously:

BMCR.PDOWN:			86.12 mW
auto-power down:		77.84 mW
auto-power-down, DLL disabled:  30.83 mW
IDDQ-low power:			 9.85 mW (requires a RESETn toggle)
IDDQ with soft recovery:	10.75 mW

Interestingly, the 50212E that I am using requires writing the PDOWN bit
and only that bit (not a RMW) in order to get in a correct state, both
LEDs keep flashing when that happens, fixes coming.

When net-next opens back up I will submit patches to support IDDQ with
soft recovery since that is clearly much better than the standard power
down and it does not require a RESETn toggle.
