Thanks for the comment.

LAN937x is 100BaseT1 Phy and it doesn't provide option for changing
speed and autonegotiation. Since it is fixed and not going to change
using ethtool -s command, I added it in the config_init routine. I took
the drivers/net/phy/nxp-tja11xx as reference in which speed is
initialised in config_init routine. I tested the patch using the
ethtool -s for changing the master/slave configuration. For other
change like speed/duplex setting, driver will not make change. When I
execute ethtool <dev>, it returns the default value 100Mbps, Full
duplex.
If lan937x_read_status( ) is the suitable place, then I will move it
there.
