The other end of this fixed link is the CPU port of a Marvell 88E6393X
switch. We are using this switch in unmanaged mode rather than using
the DSA subsystem. Therefore, we use a fixed-link to force the mac3 to
100Mbps full-duplex RMII to match the CPU port configuration.

We intentionally enable it so user-space tools can access the switch
registers. I have added a comment in v13 to clarify this.
