ADDR = 0x1C9: Low Inter-Frame-Gap
Bits 7-5: Reserved
Bits 4-0: LOW_IFG[4:0] specifies the Low Inter-Frame-Gap which is used by the MII RX interface to insert
the minimum number of idle cycles between two MAC frames sent out onto the MII RX bus. This
value is used when the INFO FIELD RX FIFO Controller sets the IFG Selection Mode (IFG_SEL)
to Low- IFG and sends it to MII RX interface. When the number of bytes in the RX FIFO becomes
greater than or equal to the High Inter-Frame-Gap Water Mark, IFG_SEL is set to one for Low-IFG.
When the number of bytes in the RX FIFO becomes less than or equal to the Low Inter-Frame-Gap
Water Mark, IFG_SEL is set to zero for Normal-IFG. At power-up, IFG_SEL defaults to zero for
Normal-IFG selection. This value remains zero until the number of bytes in the RX FIFO becomes
greater than or equal to the programmable High Inter-Frame-Gap Water Mark.

ADDR = 0x1CA: Receive ADR/TYPE_L
Bits 7-0: RX_ADR_TYPE_L [7:0] specifies the expected address when in LAPS mode or the expected
LSB of the Type field when in GFP mode, which consists of the Payload Identifier. The LAPS or
GFP RX Processor compares the received SAPI/TYPE to this value when the
RX_SAPI_CHECK_INH or RX_TYPE_CHECK_INH is not set, respectively. If the comparison fails,
the frame is discarded. The default value is assigned to 0x04 for LAPS since LAPS is the default
mode. For GFP mode, this register should be programmed to 0x01 for Ethernet payload.
