It swapped them based on (from patch 1/5)
       if (BRCM_PHY_MODEL(phydev) == PHY_ID_BCM54810 &&
           phydev->dev_flags & PHY_BRCM_EXP_LANE_SWAP)

That flag is being set in the driver based on whether the lanes need
to be swapped (which depends on the SKU of NS2).  The only SKU of NS2
we have upstream right now has it swapped, but one that should be
pushed out in the next few weeks will not have this flag present.
There is no way to detect it, and having a separate compat string
seemed overkill.

Thanks,
Jon
