This is probably going to break Macchiatobin platforms, since we
declare that the link mode there is 10GBASE-R, we'll end up with
host_interfaces containing just this mode. This will cause the
88x3310 driver to select a rate matching interface mode, which the
mvpp2 MAC can't support.

If we want to fill host_interfaces in, then it needs to be filled in
properly - and by that I mean with all the host interface modes that
can be electrically supported - otherwise platforms will break.

So, sorry, but NAK on this change.
