According to the Atheros datasheet the "CDT can be performed when
there is no link partner or when the link partner is auto-negotiating".
One could interpret that as is is only allowed _during_ autoneg. But
as far as I know there is no indication if autoneg is currently active,
is it?

I'm just skimming over that, but even if the link could be disabled
locally, shouldn't there still be link pulses from the peer?
