Among the other things that I did when I encountered the problem
reported in that PR is make a commit (with Jason Thorpe's approval)
to the AMD PNA PHY code that correctly marks the HomePNA PHY as
HomePNA rather than 10baseT as reported above. It's in current.
Please note that the AMD 79c901 chip has two PHYs on it - the second
one is a standard 10baseT and is on the second "instance" as we call
it, or the higher PHY number.
