1) As detailed in the documentation for phylink, state->speed is not
   guaranteed to be valid in the mac_config method.

2) We clearly need PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_25GBASER rather than working
   around this by testing bits in the advertising bitmap.

3) I really don't get what's going on with setting the port mode to
   2500base-X and 1000base-X here when state->interface is 10GBASER.

This is the only place that the MAC is guaranteed to know the
negotiated speed.
