Yes, the concept of port_max_speed_mode causes problems for PHYLINK, and we want to remove it. Russell and i have been updating DT descriptions adding fixed-link and phy-mode properties to all mv88e6xxx systems so that it is not needed. Either at the end of this cycle, or the beginning of the next we will change the code to actually enforce this. Andrew
