The mvpp2 driver uses phy_ethtool_get_link_ksettings() to report the
link speed to Ethtool. So it's reporting the speed set by the PHY
driver.

So it'll be something to ensure when adding PHYs supporting the mode.
We'll have the opportunity to see this when adding the last mcbin
interface.

Thanks!
Antoine
