Wolfgang:

Are ports 8/9 truly "unmanaged" or are they like ports 4/5 on the M88E6061
in which the ports have MDIO/MII interfaces but do not follow IEEE register
conventions?

If the former, then I think it is better to just pull the speed and duplex
settings from the switch and pass them up to the 4xx Ethernet driver. In my
situation, I did as shown below. It is likely more invasive than your
approach; however, it ensures that software follows what the hardware is
strapped to.
