My user manual says the same, and I believe that this is just a typo
in 405gp_enet.h (as the other definitions match the user manual.) 
That said, I've found many errors in multiple versions of the 440EP
User Manual so I've been going with more what works than what the User
Manual says (in fact when trying to use the Nand Flash Controller we
had to set some reserved bits.)

My most current user manual is Version 1.1 Dated December 3, 2004.
