PRODUCTION DATA.
MII Loopback is the most shallow loop through the PHY. It is a useful test mode to validate communications between the MAC and the PHY. When in MII Loopback, data transmitted from a connected MAC on the TX path is internally looped back in the DP83825I to the RX pins where it can be checked by the MAC.
MII Loopback is enabled by setting bit[14] in the BMCR and bit[2] in BISCR.
