The 88E1111 is proprietary to Marvell. If you work for a company that is developing a product that uses it, you can contact your distributor to set up a NDA. This isn't available to individuals or universities as far as I know.

Terasic isn't allowed to give that information out because of their NDA. Check to see if there are any timing constraints with the Ethernet examples. They should be reusable. You might also look at Linux kernel sources to see if you can get an initialization sequence for the PHY. I've worked with that chip and its versatile, but complex. I wouldn't want to try to get it going without the documentation.
