Thanks for testing.

This will be the result of issuing an ethtool command, and phylink
doesn't know what to do with the advertising mask - which is saying:
Autoneg, Fibre, Pause, AsymPause
In other words, there are no capabilities to be advertised, which is
invalid, and suggests user error. What ethtool command was being
issued?

I would guess this is because we set the advertising mask to be 2.5bT
FD, and the PCS resolution (being all that we have) reports that we
got 2.5bX FD - and when we try to convert those to a speed/duplex we
fail because there appears to be no mutual ethtool capabilities that
can be agreed.
However, given that the media may be doing 2.5G, 1G or 100M with this
module, and we have no idea what the media may be doing because we
can't access the PHY, it seems to me that reporting "Unknown" speed
and "Unknown" duplex is entirely appropriate and correct, if a little
odd.
The solution... obviously is to have access to the PHY so we know
what the media is doing.
