Don't you want to go one step further and incorporate the logic that 
xgenet, tg3, gianfar and others have? That is: look at the currently 
advertised parameters, determine what changed, and re-start 
auto-negotiation as a result of it being enabled and something changed?

Could be done as a follow-up patch I suppose, although see below:

You have remove the part that checks for phydev->autoneg here, was that 
intentional?
