You need phy_set_max_speed() when it is possible to connect a 10/100
MAC to a 1G PHY.  You sometime do this because a 1G PHY is cheaper
than a 100M PHY. Unless limited, the PHY will advertise and could
negotiate a 1G link, but the MAC could then not support it. If it is
not physically possible to connect a 1G PHY to your MAC, you don't
need to worry.

It is not needed.
