Can you explain that part ? I don't understand why 100BaseX is being
reported as a supported mode here. This whole section of the function
is about detecting what can be reported based on the presence or not of
a comphy driver / hardcoded comphy config. I don't think the comphy
here has anything to do with MII / 100BaseX

If 100BaseX can be carried on MII (which I don't know), shouldn't it be
reported no matter what ?

Thanks,

Maxime
