In the hints file for the AR71XX file we see:
# PHY4 = 1 << 4
hint.arge.0.phymask=0x10
# Uncomment this hint for RS (not PRO)
# PHY20 = 1 << 20
# hint.arge.0.phymask=0x100000
# PHY1, PHY2, PHY3
hint.arge.1.phymask=0x0e
...
# should be 100 for RS
hint.arge.1.media=1000
hint.arge.1.fduplex=1
# Uncomment this hint for RS (not PRO)
# hint.arge.0.phymask=70000
This is the mask of PHY addresses. If you have the documentation for
the PHY addresses on your board, create a bitmask from that. If you
lack documentation, trial an error likely can have good results since
there's only 32 possible addresses the PHYs could be wired to.
