In embedded environments, ethtool may not be available to toggle between

Add a module parameter to control auto negotiation for these situations.
Hi Andrew
Where does this end? You can set the link speed via module parameters?
Pause? Duplex?

Agree to your feedback. Most of the information required to control the
connection is already present in the
driver and this piece of information is missing. Customers who run a
minimal Linux do not have the flexibility
to add userspace applications like ethtool to control the connection
information. Please consider this as expectional
case, or else I would not have proposed this change.
Thanks,
Shyam
