ethtool settings applied before the interface is in IFF_UP state are going to be lost when phylink is being used.
This is the case with many modern NICs as well as when using SFP modules, resulting in the speed, duplex, *pause and autoneg settings not having any effect.
Reapply ethtool settings once the PHY is attached.
