This sort of enables auto-detection of speed.

For external ports I had to enabled the PPU to allow the external PHYs
to negotiate.

Also, on external PHYs ports 8 and 9, I write 0x0403 not 0x0003 (to
register 0x1, PCS Control Register).  Which also enables inband
auto-negotiation, but I'm not sure this is necessary.

On the CPU port I force link-up and force speed+duplex setting.  I only
got 100Mbit/s to the CPU port...

/* CPU Port 10: Force 100Mbit Full-Duplex */
REG_WRITE( 0x1A , 0x01 , 0x003D );

You should write 0x003E ... see attached patch
