+``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_PHY_INDEX`` identifies the Ethernet PHY the message relates to.
+As there are numerous commands that are related to PHY configuration, and because
+there may be more than one PHY on the link, the PHY index can be passed in the
+request for the commands that needs it. It is, however, not mandatory, and if it
+is not passed for commands that target a PHY, the net_device.phydev pointer
