This is the current implementation except for the SGMII mode associated
operation that I had recently added. I will fix that. Also, the
cpsw_sl_ctl_set() function which writes the mac_control value performs a read
modify write operation.

Thank you for pointing it out. I will move that to mac_config().

The CPSW MAC does not support forced mode at 10 Mbps RGMII. For this reason, if
RGMII 10 Mbps is requested, it is set to in-band mode.
