I just don't have a requirement from our customer to make it adjustable
so I did not want to add something extra.

I can add in for v3.

Ack.  The data sheet actually says "Speed optimization, also known as
link downshift"

So I probably will just rename everything down shift.

I don't see a register that gives us that status

I will ask the hardware team if there is one.

This is a 1Gbps PHY by default so if a slower connection is established
due to faulty cabling or LP advertisement then this would be a down
shift IMO.
