Yes. It's RGMII to 1000Base-KX.

The PHY is strapped in RGMII-Fiber Mode (the term used in datasheet), but besides 1000BaseX, 100Base-FX is also supported in this mode.
The datasheet doesn't say which link type (1000BaseX or 100Base-FX) is active after reset and I cannot find a way to auto-detect the link type, either.
Below are a few more details about 1000Base-X and 100Base-FX in BCM54616S datasheet.
- 1000BaseX:
The 1000BaseX register set (MII registers 00-0F) needs to be enabled by setting bit 0 of Mode Control Register.
Although the register address is the same between 1000BaseX and 1000BaseT/100BaseT/10BaseT registers, some bit fields in 1000BaseX registers are different: for example, speed field is not available in 1000BaseX status register.
- 100Base-FX:
100Base-FX registers need to be enabled by writing 1 to SerDes 100FX Control Register.
100Base-FX Control and Status registers are in shadow register 1Ch, instead of MII register 00h and 01h.

read_status callback needs to be updated to report correct link speed in my case. But as I cannot tell which link type (1000BaseX or 100Base-FX) is active, it becomes hard to access registers in read_status method. Any suggestions?
BTW, link-never-up issue seems to be caused by static/dynamic feature detection. I'm still tracing down the issue and it's being tracked in patch #1 of the series.
Thanks,
Tao
