You missed one generic function, mdio45_ethtool_gset_npage() in
drivers/net/mdio.c.

If you're going to stop these drivers ignoring speed_hi, maybe you
should also stop them ignoring the difference between speed and duplex!
Currently the user can ask for 99 Mbit/s full-duplex and get 100 Mbit/s
half-duplex.

There are several others that use this trick.
