In MAC to MAC connections, REVRMII means that end plays the role of a
PHY, even though it is a MAC.

What is actually happening when you use these properties/register
setting on the PHY?  It is playing the role of a MAC? In order to have
a working link, do you need to tell the MAC to play the role of the
PHY?
