Why is this so complicated? It would be silly if the _full duplex_
definitions also defined the _half duplex_ bits. This should be just:

	priv->phylink_config.mac_capabilities = MAC_10FD | MAC_100FD |
						MAC_1000FD;

if that is all you support. Do you not support any pause modes (they
would need to be included as well here.)

As to this approach, I don't think it's a good model to override the
stmmac MAC operations. Instead, I would suggest that a better approach
would be for the platform to provide its capabilities to the stmmac
core code (maybe a new member in stmmac_priv) which, when set, is used
to reduce the capabilities provided to phylink via
priv->phylink_config.mac_capabilities.

Why? The driver has several components that are involved in the
overall capabilities, and the capabilities of the system is the
logical subset of all these capabilities. One component should not
be setting capabilities that a different component doesn't support.
