Seems that BMSR_ANEGCAPABLE is set even if AN is disabled in BMCR.  
Hmm, that behaviour goes against 22.2.4.2.10:

A PHY shall return a value of zero in bit 1.5 if Auto-Negotiation is
disabled by clearing bit 0.12. A PHY shall also return a value of zero
in bit 1.5 if it lacks the ability to perform Auto-Negotiation.

I was under the impression that
  state->an_complete
should only be set to true if AN is enabled.  
Yes - however as you've stated, the PHY doesn't follow 802.3 behaviour
so I guess we should make the emulation appear compliant by fixing it
like this.
OK, I will use BMCR_ANENABLE and add a comment explaining that we can't
use BMSR_ANEGCAPABLE because the PHY violates standard. Would that be
okay?
Yes, thanks.
