Please take a look at phylink_speed_down() and
phylink_speed_up(). Assuming the PHY is not reporting it can do 10Full
and 10Half, it should end up in 100BaseFull. Assuming the link partner
can do 100BaseFull....

Russell points out you are making a lot of assumptions about the
system side link. Ideally, you want to leave that to the PHY. Once the
auto-neg at the lower speed has completed, it might change the system
side link, e.g. to SGMII and the normal machinery should pass that
onto the MAC, so it can follow. I would not force anything.

I think most PHY drivers do this as part of enabling WOL. Doing it in
aqr107_config_init() is early, is the MAC address stable yet? The user
could change it. It could still be changed after wol is enabled, but
at least the user has a clear point in time when WoL configuration
happens.

WoL seems to be tried to interrupts. So maybe you should actually
check an interrupt is available? This is not going to work if the PHY
is being polled. It does however get a bit messy, some boards might
connect the 'interrupt' pin to PMIC. So there is not a true interrupt,
but the PMIC can turn the power back on.
