Please take a look at:

We need a good understanding of how 802.3 expects loopback to be used,
and a commit message based on what 802.3 says. Our current
understanding is that 1G and above requires auto-neg for correct
operation, so we don't want to allow autoneg to be disabled in normal
operation. It could be we need to special case loopback somehow.
