Hi Russell,

Thanks for your comments.

OK.  I will assume speed is not known in this callback.

Yes that would be a very useful addition.
Should I add PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_25GBASER in this series or should that be added as a separate
series?

The high speed interfaces (> 2.5G) do not support any in-band signalling, so the only way that e.g a
10G interface running at 2.5G will be able to link up with its partner is if both ends configure the
speed manually via ethtool.
