Looking at Marvell 88e151x, I don't think this is usable there.
We have the option of supporting link_1000 on one of the LEDs,
link_100 on another, and link_10 on the other. It's rather rare
for all three leds to be wired though.

This is also a PHY where "activity" mode is supported (illuminated
or blinking if any traffic is transmitted or received) but may not
support individual directional traffic in hardware. However, it
does support forcing the LED on or off, so software mode can handle
those until the user selects a combination of modes that are
supported in the hardware.

This seems too restrictive. For example, Marvell 88e151x supports
none of these, but does support 42, 84, 170, 340, 670ms.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
