OK. I'll test that.

I have made some progress on this issue. See my other messages on this
thread. My latest suggestion is here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20191217182643.augknhx57pafnelv@sapphire.tkos.co.il/

I now think that the force_cmode field is not necessary. We should just
add a 'force' parameter to mv88e6xxx_port_set_cmode(), and set it true
in mv88e6341_port_set_cmode().
