When using the 'ethtool' to set PHY1's settings, the 'ethtool' seems to do the 'get' settings with incorrect PHY ID and then apply the new settings on it.
For example when using the command, to change PHY1's speed, 'ethtool -s eth0 phyad 1 speed 100', the 'ethtool' will end up querying PHY0's settings and then apply the new settings specified in the command on top of the PHY0's settings. So the PHY1 will end up with worng settings (partial settings of PHY0 for example). This patch fixes the issue by specifying the 'phyad' or 'port' requested in the command to query for the settings, before applying the new ones.
