lan743x_virtual_phy_disconnect removes sysfs-links and calls
fixed_phy_unregister()
and the reason was phydev in sysfs.

That's why I "re-implemented the fixed PHY driver" as Florian said.
The goal of virtual phy was to make an illusion of real device working in
loopback mode. So I could use ethtool and ioctl's to switch speed of device.

I have lan743x only and in loopback mode it allows to use speeds
10/100/1000MBps
in full-duplex mode only. But the highest speed I have achived was something
near
752Mbps...
And I can switch speed on the fly, without reloading the module.
May by I should limit the list of acceptable devices?
