Subject: [PATCH ethtool 0/2] Fix condition for showing MDI-X status

From: Bastian Germann <bage@...utronix.de>

Currently there is a filter for showing the MDI-X info. It is only
presented for twisted pair ports, which suppresses the info, e.g., for MII.
I found that issue running ethtool on a br53 switch port.

Despite the enum names, I cannot find documentation on the MDIX fields only
being valid for twisted pair ports -- if they are present, they should be
valid. But maybe I am mistaken.

Additionally, fix a duplicate condition.
