You can also force that by setting the "max-speed" property in the
Ethernet PHY node, the PHY library will populate the supported bitmask
accordingly and remove speeds which are not supposed to be supported.

I have to admit it has been a while since I used mii-tool, so the
ioctl() side on the PHY library might be off.
