I think the explanation could be better.

I assume the M5272 only supported Fast Ethernet, so fep->quirks &
FEC_QUIRK_HAS_GBIT was never true?

Same here?

Maybe the commit message should actually say that M5272 only supported
Fast Ethernet, so these conditions cannot be true, and so the #ifdef
guard can be removed.
