Hi Al

The sample of the ASL for these PHYs is below:

                Device (PHY0) {
                        Name (_DSD, Package () {
                                ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                Package () {
                                        Package () {"phy-addr", 0},
                                        Package () {"ethernet-phy", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22"},
                                }
                        })
                }

Best Regards,
