The commit 898b2970e2c9 ("mvneta: implement SGMII-based in-band link state

Unfortunately it appears that some HW that implements SGMII protocol,
doesn't generate the inband status, so it is not possible to auto-negotiate
anything with such HW.
What is the purpose of using the in-band status in the first place if
you end-up having to specify a 'fixed-link' property which contains most
of the link parameters: speed, duplex etc...?
You don't have to.
My config from today is as simple as:
fixed-link {
link = "auto";
};
and that's all.
Without my today's patch, only 'speed' is a mandatory - not too much.
