Request priority
Indicates the priority of urgent requests. It is only used with a FairReq request type. All zeros indicate a fair
request.
All ones are reserved (this priority is implied by a PriReq).
Other values are used to indicate the priority of an urgent request.
10
Stop bit
Indicates the end of the transfer (always 0)
For a Read Register Request the length of the LREQ data stream is 9 bits as shown in Table 6

Fair/Urgent Req
Fair or urgent request. The PHY arbitrates after a subaction gap using fair protocol.
Fair/Urgent Req is used for fair transfers with the request priority field differentiating fair and
urgent transfers for the backplane environment.
