I don't know. It doesn't matter to me what it's called since I don't
have access to the data sheet anyway. :/

Yes, for a different HW version of the device.

Yes. But to different versions of the HW which use this bit
differently. Ergo the comment about "8125b and later".

Yes, they are the same bit - but different versions of HW use BIT(11)
differently.

Correct. My clue is this code near the top of this file:
149 [RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_61] = {"RTL8125A", FIRMWARE_8125A_3},
150 /* reserve 62 for CFG_METHOD_4 in the vendor driver */
151 [RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_63] = {"RTL8125B", FIRMWARE_8125B_2},

Exactly.
thanks for reviewing!
