I don't see what that has to do with whether AN is enabled or not.
Forcing master/slave mode is normally independent of whether AN is
enabled.

There's four modes for it. MASTER_PREFERRED - this causes the PHY to
generate a seed that gives a higher chance that it will be chosen as
the master. SLAVE_PREFERRED - ditto but biased towards being a slace.
MASTER_FORCE and SLAVE_FORCE does what it says on the tin.

We may not be implementing this for clause 45 PHYs.
