Not sure I completely understand your suggestion, do you mean that I
should break down the body of that function above such that there are
per-speed lower level functions? Something like the pseudo-code below:

genphy_set_test() {
switch (mode) {
case PHY_STD_TEST_MODE_100BASET2_1:
..
case PHY_STD_TEST_MODE_100BASET2_3:
return genphy_set_100baset2();

case PHY_STD_TEST_MODE_1000BASET_1:
..
case PHY_STD_TEST_MODE_1000BASET_4:
return genphy_set_1000baset();

case PHY_STD_TEST_MODE_8021BWQCQ_1:
return genphy_set_100baset1();

}

Or did you want to see a different way of mapping a given speed/feature
set to a specific test function?
