I don't quite like this. This problem should be either solved in phylink_helper_basex_speed() or somewhere in the mv88e6xxx code, but near the call to phylink_helper_basex_speed(). Putting a solution to the behaviour of phylink_helper_basex_speed() it into the validate() method when phylink_helper_basex_speed() is called from a different place will complicate debugging in the future. If we start solving problems in this kind of way, the driver will become totally unreadable, IMO. Marek
