Since this is a standard bit in a register, please add a #define for
it. Something like

#define MAC_CTRL_PORT_SELECT_10_100 BIT(15)

maybe in commom.h? I don't know this driver too well, so it might have
a different naming convention. 

	if (speed == SPEED_1000) {
		if (readl(ptr->ioaddr + MAC_CTRL_REG) & MAC_CTRL_PORT_SELECT_10_100)
		/* Word around hardware bug, restart autoneg */

is more obvious what is going on.

That did not answer my question. Did Synopsys allocate this value?  If
not, what happens when Synopsys does produce a version which makes use
of this value?

No, because of the version comparisons within the code, developers
need to know what versions actually exist. So you should include it
along side all the other values.
