Generic PHY support

[fpistm]

Currently, LAN8742A_PHY is only supported.
Goal is to have a generic PHY support to be able to support some other.

requested PHY support:

• DP83848_PHY Support for DP83848_PHY ? #15
• LAN8720 PHY Support LAN8720 PHY #23
• LAN8742 PHY Support Nucleo-H743 #21 and Missing support to STM32H563 #90

Is there any progress? The thread started 2019 and meanwhile it is very annoying that nothing happens, especially because most of the supported boards are deprecated.

Not at this time. If I can have some bandwidth I'd like to implement it. Do not forget, it is a community project, any contribution are also welcome.

In the same boat here. Have found a really handy little board that would be perfect for so many projects but as it uses the DP83848 PHY I'm unable to use it. I'm happy to provide a board if it helps at all. This board ticks all the boxes for a lot of users and the last peice of the puzzle is the Ethernet.

I'm trying to get the library working with a KSZ8863 PHY, but so far haven't been successful. So +1 for this request.
