You can check the clause 22 spec: 802.3 22.2.4.1.1

Apart from that you can check BMCR value and which modes your PHY advertises
after a soft reset. If the PHY indeed wouldn't restart aneg after a soft reset,
then it would be the only one with this behavior I know. And I'd wonder why
there aren't more such reports.
