Why? This seems at odds to the comment above?

What about 2500baseX_Full ?
The comments explain that the PCS<->PHY link is in 2500BASE-X
and why 10/100/1000 link speed is mutually exclusive with 2500.
But the connected external PHY are twisted pair cable which only
supports 2500baseT_full.
The PHY should indicate what modes its supports. The PHY drivers
get_features() call should set supported to only 2500baseT_Full, if
that is all it supports.

What modes are actually used should then be the intersect of what both
the MAC and the PHY indicate they can do.
