Initially ksz9477_get_features() was introduced to fix KSZ8563R.

Most (all?) switch variant support by the ksz9477 DSA driver share the same
PHYid, so it is not possible to identify it by the micrel.c PHY driver.
As far as a know, the only commonly accepted way to notify about some quirks
between this both drivers is not user dev_flags.
