Maybe before anything goes further with this patch, I'd like to get
some feedback from it on a particular point. This changes the linkmodes
that are reported on fixed-link interfaces. Instead of reporting one
single mode, we report all modes supported by the fixed-link' speed and
duplex settings.

The following example is a before/after of the "ethtool ethX" output on
a 1G fixed link :

Before this patch :

	Settings for eth0:
	Supported ports: [ MII ]
	Supported link modes:   1000baseT/Full 
	Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
	Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
	Supported FEC modes: Not reported
	Advertised link modes:  Not reported
	Advertised pause frame use: No
	Advertised auto-negotiation: No
	Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
	Speed: Unknown!
	Duplex: Half
	Port: MII
	PHYAD: 0
	Transceiver: internal
	Auto-negotiation: off
	Supports Wake-on: d
	Wake-on: d
	Link detected: no

After :

	Supported ports: [ MII ]
	Supported link modes:   1000baseT/Full 
	                        1000baseKX/Full 
	                        1000baseX/Full 
	                        1000baseT1/Full 
	Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
	Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
	Supported FEC modes: Not reported
	Advertised link modes:  Not reported
	Advertised pause frame use: No
	Advertised auto-negotiation: No
	Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
	Speed: Unknown!
	Duplex: Half
	Port: MII
	PHYAD: 0
	Transceiver: internal
	Auto-negotiation: off
	Supports Wake-on: d
	Wake-on: d
	Link detected: no

The fixed-link in question is for the CPU port of a DSA switch.

In my opinion, this is OK as the linkmodes expressed here don't match
physical linkmodes on an actual wire, but as this is a user visible
change, I'd like to make sure this is OK. Any comment here is more than
welcome.
