Please add an explanation why this is safe. For example, why the
RTL9000AA does not start saying it supports 1000BaseT1_Full.

Has 1000BaseT1_Full been standardised? If there a feature bit in a
register to indicate the hardware supports it? That would be the
preferred method to determine what the hardware can do.
