Log:
  Disable setting the MII port speed.
  
  This seems to break at least my test board here (AR71xx + AR8316 switch
  PHY).  Since I do have a whole sleuth of "normal" PHY boards (with
  an AR71xx on a normal PHY port), I'll do some further testing with those
  to determine whether this is a general issue, or whether it's limited
  to the behaviour of the "fake" dedicated PHY port mode on these atheros
  switches.
