Sleep negotiation can be initiated from one of the two PHYs connected through link-up. Post the initiation, both of these PHYs go through negotiation and smoothly transition to sleep.
The sleep negotiation can be initiated (local sleep req) by programming reg<0x018C> = 0x0002 on any of the PHYs.The states the PHYs go through in the negotiation are explained in detail below.
The MAC/controller intervention is only needed to initiate the sleep and abort the Sleep. All other state transitions happen though interaction between both the PHYs and need no external intervention and are explained below for information purpose only.
