There are a bit more dependencies: - PHY0 is responsible for health monitoring. If some thing wrong, it may shut down complete chip. - We have shared reset. It make no sense to probe PHY1 before PHY0 with more controlling options will be probed - It is possible bat dangerous to use PHY1 without PHY0.
