Hi !

There may well be a bug in the code, but I'm not sure this is
the proper fix. When setting up a forced mode, I'm not sure it's
worth playing with advertise at all in fact... Just having the
link up shall be enough if aneg is disabled, we could ignore
LPA/ADVERTISE completely. Or maybe just read back BMCR from
read_link...
