When the PHY receives low power
sleep requests from the link partner, the PHY enters Sleep Ack mode. In this mode,
the PHY allows 8ms for the MAC to decide if TC-10 sleep mode must be enabled or
not. If the MAC decides to allow TC-10, the PHY proceeds to the next step in TC-10
state machine. However, the MAC can decide to abort TC-10 and the PHY returns to
Normal mode. TC10 can be aborted using the register setting by disabling TC10 or
using GPIO. If TC10 is aborted by disabling TC10 feature, then re-enable TC10
feature once the sleep request has been aborted.
