I tried that, but when I also limit supported mask the phy driver doesn't
touch gigabit advertising register int the genphy_config_advert at all.
That's probably right for ethtool interface, but ethoc doesn't support
ethtool.

Like below?

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net: ethoc: don't advertise gigabit speed on attached PHY

OpenCores 10/100 Mbps MAC does not support speeds above 100 Mbps, but does
not disable advertisement when PHY supports them. This results in
non-functioning network when the MAC is connected to a gigabit PHY connected
to a gigabit switch.

The fix is to disable gigabit speed advertisement on attached PHY
unconditionally.
