read_status and config_aneg are the only mandatory callbacks and most of the time the generic implementation is used by drivers. So make the core fall back to the generic version if a driver doesn't implement the respective callback. Also currently the core doesn't seem to verify that drivers implement the mandatory calls. If a driver doesn't do so we'd just get a NPE. With this patch this potential issue doesn't exit any longer.
