2.4.5 Results of Link Polling

Make sure the automotive Ethernet cable is connected accordingly between the PHY system and Link Partner system. If the PHY is properly linked up, then the MAC can begin sending packets through. If not, the MCU continues to poll the PHY for the link status until a proper link is established. If this polling continues for 100ms and the link is still not established, the MCU commands the PHY to soft restart once more and repeat the polling process.
