Before there is a misunderstanding: I have no problem with
ath79_setup_qca955x_eth_cfg not changing its current behavior. There are already
mach-* files doing their own thing with ETH_CFG because OpenWrt didn't want to
change the current behavior of it and I will just do the same for some upcoming
mach-* files (and then also for mr1750/mr900).

Attached is a small hack to show you the preset values by u-boot for QCA955x.
Just in case you are interested in finding out what your u-boot sets when
booting up with different link speeds. Apply the patch (currently for
f51f2b3e7b18/r49031), attach the device directly to a different PC and boot
your device up. You should see some XXXXXX with the old and new pll_* values
for the selected speed (only the first "old" values for xmii/sgmii are
interesting) and QCA955X_GMAC_REG_ETH_CFG-pre with the values set by u-boot.

This procedure can be repeated with different speeds. Just set the linkspeed
(1000, 100, 10) on your PC via:

    ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full

and then power up the device again. You should check out
https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/49027/trunk for the known bits in
QCA955X_GMAC_REG_ETH_CFG.

You can also manipulate this register directly from userspace. Just enable
the busybox tool devmem and enable the /dev/mem support code in
target/linux/generic/config-4.* (CONFIG_DEVKMEM=y, CONFIG_DEVMEM=y). The
currently set value for ETH_CFG on QCA955x can be read via:

    devmem 0x18070000 32

and written via (just a dummy example value):

    devmem 0x18070000 32 0x12345678

Kind regards,
	Sven
