I checked the 88E6352 switch chip datasheet. The part covering the integrated PHY's lists the mentioned bits
in MAC Specific Control Register 2.

Table 75 in the 88E1510 datasheet says: Loopback speed is determined by Registers 21_2.6,13.
So Marvell PHY's seem to use different bits (although same register) for loopback speed configuration.
