I see that Russell answered already. My 2cts:
Are you sure all PHY's supporting downshift adjust the
advertisement bits? IIRC an Aquantia PHY I dealt with does not.
And if a PHY does so I'd consider this problematic:
Let's say you have a broken cable and the PHY downshifts to
100Mbps. If you change the cable then the PHY would still negotiate
100Mbps only.
Also I think phydev->advertising reflects what the user wants to
advertise, as mentioned by Russell before.
