My reading of the code is that if this was just a GigE capable phy the
interface would be set once and never changed/unset. The only reason
it happens here is because the link changes to support the 2.5G mode, so
there's no problem with it defaulting to SGMII even when the external
link isn't actually up. Perhap Luo can confirm if this is the case?
