One thing i would like to do before this patch goes in is define
ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_100baseT1_Full_BIT in ethtool.h, and use it here.
We could not do it earlier because were ran out of bits. But with
PHYLIB now using bitmaps, rather than u32, we can.

Once net-next reopens i will submit a patch adding it.

I also see in the data sheet we should be able to correct detect its
features using register 15. So we should extend
genphy_read_abilities(). That will allow us to avoid changing
PHY_BASIC_T1_FEATURES and possibly breaking backwards compatibility of
other T1 PHY which currently say they are plain 100BaseT.
