Not all variants of the sh_eth hardware have Gigabit
support. Unfortunately, the current driver doesn't tell the PHY about
the limited MAC capabilities. Due to this, if you have a Gigabit
capable PHY, the PHY will advertise its Gigabit capability and
establish a link at 1Gbit/s, even though the MAC doesn't support it.
In order to avoid this, we use the recently introduced
phy_set_max_speed() to tell the PHY to not advertise speed higher than
100 MBit/s.
Tested on a SH7786 platform, with a Gigabit PHY.

Changes since v2:
- Drop goto construction used in the phy_set_max_speed() error
handling, as it is not needed. Suggested by Sergei Shtylyov.
Changes since v1:
- Use phy_set_max_speed(), as suggested by Sergei Shtylyov
