With this waiting up to one second for MTK_PHY_FINAL_SPEED_1000 to be
set...

Are you sure you want this condition like this? When the link is down,
and 1G speeds are being advertised, it means that you'll call
extend_an_new_lp_cnt_limit(). If MTK_PHY_FINAL_SPEED_1000 doesn't get
set, that'll take one second each and every time we poll the PHY for
its status - which will be done while holding phydev->lock.

This doesn't sound very good.
