[PATCH 02/16] net/phy: Expose 100base-T capability only

I don't know the specific PHY model deployed on Firestone BMC, but
currently used one (PHY_ID_BCM54210E) isn't correct. BCM54210E
supports 1000base-T but the PHY on Firestone BMC shouldn't support
that mode as uboot uses 100base-T mode.

When exposing 1000base-T capability, the MAC is forced to have the
same mode though the PHY is working in 100base-T mode in fact. It
causes the mode mismatch between PHY/MAC and the ethernet network
doesn't work.

It's a temporary fix. After the PHY model is confirmed, we need
to enable the correct PHY driver instead current one for BCM54210E.

The plot thickens, it does appear that this IS the correct PHY on
firestones. This patch is definitely required for networking to be
functional though.
