Optimization is part of 2.5G support change only. with introduction of
2.5G speed support we need to update reconfigure serdes phy. there are
2 different serdes configs.
1. config for 2.5G
2. common config 1G/100M/10M

The change here is not to reconfigure serdes phy among
1G/100M/10M speeds and only reconfigure if it switches to 2.5G.

In stmmac speed can be assigned as SPEED_UNKNOWN which will be -1.
I will fix speed being unsigned int in a separate patch.

For 2.5G speed support MAC PCS autoneg needs to be disabled.
This adds the change to disable PCS autoneg. I will update commit
message to add more dtails
