I described this in the cover letter. And it is explained in the data sheet Section 8.4.6.6

I was using the marvel.c as my template as it appears to have a separate status register as well.
Instead of setting those bits in the call back I can call the genphy_read_status then override the duplex and speed based on the physts register like below. This way link status and pause values can be updated and then we can update the speed and duplex settings.
ret = genphy_read_status(phydev); if (ret) return ret;
if (status < 0) return status;
if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_DUPLEX) phydev->duplex = DUPLEX_FULL; else phydev->duplex = DUPLEX_HALF;
if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_1000) phydev->speed = SPEED_1000; else if (status & DP83867_PHYSTS_100) phydev->speed = SPEED_100; else phydev->speed = SPEED_10;

OK.
