Before converting to the phylink interface, the init function would have
set a non-reserved I/F mode in the maccfg2 register. After converting to
phylink, 0 is written as mode, which is a reserved value (although it's
the hardware default). Without a valid mode, a SGMII link is never
established between the MAC and the PHY and thus .link_up() is never
called which could set the correct mode according to the actual speed.

Fix it by setting the maximum speed of the phy_interface_t in use in
.mac_config() - just like the driver did before the phylink conversion.

I didn't grab Sean's Rb tag as this is somewhat different.

Changes in v3:
  - keep the mode setting also in .adjust_link().
  - reword the commit message, to be (hopefully) more precise
  - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260710143430.2276141-1-mwalle@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes in v2:
  - the setting is/was based on the maximum speed, not the current
    speed. thus, move the setting into mac_config().
  - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260706121011.1948906-1-mwalle@xxxxxxxxxx/

Christian, can you test this patch with ethernet at 100/1G speed if you still have
access to those P5020/P5040 boards?

I tested the patch today. I don't see any differences.
