This is not correct. Just because the MAC can do 2.5G does not mean
the PHY can. So you should not be adding links modes. Also, somebody
might be using a PHY that can do 2.5G with a MAC which can only do 1G.

The correct thing to do is call phy_set_max_speed() with the maximum
speed the MAC can do.
