It is great to see more Rust code, and I am glad the "Rust reference
driver" model is useful here. But reference drivers, in principle, are
meant to bootstrap the abstractions and so on. The cover letter says
"following the pattern established", but the idea is not to duplicate
every C driver.

Since there is already a PHY one, is this meant to bootstrap the two
new APIs? Or something else?

Of course, it is up to the maintainers, i.e. if they want/need to have
more reference drivers, that is great. But I think it would be good to
clarify.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
