driver/net/fec: support fixed speed connection
If MAC is directly connected to another MAC (like a switch for example) we don't need to probe for a phy, autoneogation and so on. We simply have to setup speed. Signed-off-by: Hannes Schmelzer <oe5hpm@oevsv.at> Acked-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com>
