I wonder, how this SW2 works. Is it just a way to tell software not to 
use autoneg and force some settings, or it disables autoneg on hw 
level (I'm kinda doubt that)?

If this is just some board specific configuration option which doesn't 
affect this PHY directly, let's drop this stuff completely and always 
use autoneg, if user wants to force something - he should ethtool.
