Yes, CPSW is different from what linux networking is designed for, it
has two ethernet slave and acts as a Layer 2 switch.

* If you need on a run time basis you can change the supported speed via
ethtool advertise interface
* If needed on boot for nfs then need to think of how it can be achieved
in cpsw driver. Will have a look and update this thread.
