When did you last see a collision? Do you really have a 1/2 duplex
link? Just because the PHY can, does not mean we should support
it. Lets restrict this to the most useful modes.

These seems like attributes, not blink modes. They need to be
specified somehow differently, or not at all. Do we really need them?

Another attribute, and one i've not seen any other PHY do.
