Hi,

	If you have a switch between your phy and your cpu the speed and
	the duplex must be specified by the phy driver.

	The best way is to add a function that request the phy status
	and do not wait the phy autonegociation like done in the kernel
	by read_status callback and it's implementation
	genphy_read_status.

Best Regards,
J.
