TX_PCOM_LOB:
The 7
th through the LSB of the 32-bit transmitted data field to be used
for out-of-band communications between PHY management entities.
The PHY will send all-0 PCOMs until the high byte in TX_PCOM_HI
has been accessed.
An access of any of the four TX_PCOM bytes will clear the
TX_PCOM_RDY bit in the ISTAT register.

th through 8th bits of the 32-bit transmitted data field to be used
for out-of-band communications between PHY management entities.
The PHY will send all-0 PCOMs until the high byte in TX_PCOM_HI
has been accessed.
An access of any of the four TX_PCOM bytes will clear the
