I know this is just another quick'n'dirty code snippet exchanged over
email which turned into a proper patch, but wouldn't it be more
civilized to use "MDIO_EEE_100TX | MDIO_EEE_1000T" here, than to declare
EEE broken for link modes which aren't even supported by the internal
switch PHYs?

It's probably not causing practical harm, but currently, we tell
genphy_config_eee_advert() to include reserved bits of the MMD EEE
Advertising Register (MMD 0x07 : 0x3C) into its modification mask.
