In the original code, the ksz8795_cpu_interface_select (which does the
xmii and speed configuration) is called only ksz87xx switch not for the
ksz88x3.
During refactoring, I intentionally did not add the P_XMII_CTRL0/1 for
the ksz88xx in the chip_data structure.
I added check that if switch belong to ksz88x3 then return in the
phylink_mac_config function but I missed to add in the
phylink_mac_link_up. Thats the mistake I have done. So, for the ksz88xx
switch code breakage, it could be fixed by adding the check in the
phylink_mac_link_up as well.

For the code breakage in ksz8795/ksz8794, the original code has only
provision for configuring xmii mode and choosing the 100/1000Mbps speed
selection which could be selected using is_1Gbps bit of
port5_interface_control6 register (0x56). But it didn't have provision
to select speed between 10/100Mbps, flow control and duplex.

As per vladimir suggestion, P_XMII_CTRL1 can be changed from 0x56 to
0x06. It fixes the problem for ksz_set_xmii, ksz_set_gbit since this is
the port based register not the global register.

The global register 0x06 responsibilities are bit 4 for 10/100mbps
speed selection, bit 5 for flow control and bit 6 for duplex
operation. Since these three are new features added during refactoring
I overlooked it.
To fix this, either I need to return from the ksz_set_100_10mbit &
ksz_duplex_flowctrl function if the chip_id is ksz87xx or add dev-
>dev_ops for this alone.
Kindly suggest on how to proceed.
