As per 802.3bz, if bit 14 of (1.11) "PMA Extended Abilities" indicates
whether or not we should read register (1.21) "2.52/5G PMA Extended
Abilities", which contains information on the support of 2.5GBASET and
5GBASET.

After testing on several variants of PHYS of this family, it appears
that bit 14 in (1.11) isn't always set when it should be.

PHYs 88X3310 (on MacchiatoBin) and 88E2010 do support 2.5G and 5GBASET,
but don't have 1.11.14 set. Their register 1.21 is filled with the
correct values, indicating 2.5G and 5G support.

PHYs 88X2110 do have their 1.11.14 bit set, as it should.  
Hi Maxime

Is there anything about this in any Errata?
I haven't seen any Errata on that unfortunately.

I also thought about reading (1.4) "PMA/PMD Speed Ability", but the
2.5G and 5G speeds are also reported as not being supported on the
88X3310.
It's entirely possible that the 3310 switches to different hardware
blocks for 2.5G and 5G speeds, and reading _just_ the 1.4 register
is not sufficient.

The 88x3310 is multiple PHY devices in one package, with a CPU that
manages the routing between each individual device.
