Rather than have these items set by CDL only, I think they should
be set when the PHY is initialized by the ethernet driver.  For
example, I have hardware which may have any selection of 1000Mb 
(Gigabit), 100Mb or 10Mb devices and a single CDL selection is
not adequate.  If we are to change/add to the PHY layer support,
it only makes sense to do so in the most flexible manner.
