It's true that duplex should always be set to full-duplex already by
phylink. However, speed could be 2500MBit/s (2500Base-X) or 2000MBit/s
(?, TRGMII) and we yet need to program the PCR like if it was
1000MBit/s.

Regarding the INTERNAL case: it was added by mistake. In case of
MT7988, all ports of the switch are connected via INTERNAL links,
however, the PHYs still need adjustment of the PCR register just like
on all other MT753x switches and the CPU port is setup elsewhere
anyway.
