I would schedule this in my work. Maybe I finish submitting
the other patches later.

Besides, I have a question. I think I don't need rtl8152_set_speed()
if I implement phylib. However, I need to record some information
according to the settings of speed. For now, I do it in rtl8152_set_speed().
Do you have any idea about how I should do it with phylib without
rtl8152_set_speed()?
