Not all variants of the sh_eth hardware have Gigabit support. Unfortunately, the current driver doesn't update phydev->supported depending on the MAC capabilities. Due to this, if you have a Gigabit capable PHY, the PHY will advertise its Gigabit capability and establish a link at 1Gbit/s, even though the MAC doesn't support it. In order to avoid this, we mark phydev->supported if we're running a non-Gigabit capable hardware. Tested on a SH7786 platform, with a Gigabit PHY.
