This patch doesn't look right.  It will clamp the phy to the minimum
possible link rate.  The child is supposed to support everywhere between
child->min_linkrate and child->max_linkrate.  The reason why we pick the
max is because we should use that if the parent supports it, and fall
back only if the parent isn't capable.
