[c-nsp] Confirmation of Gigabit Ethernet autonegotiation behavior

There are some diffs between T and X 1G. T should not work without
autoneg(AN) (because PMA and PCS rely on AN). X should work without autoneg.
Maybe this links will help:

X:

_PMA.pdf

General Info about AN in 1G:

Actually you can. :-) IEEE 802.3 claus 37.2.1.3 describes half duplex for
1000BASE-X. It doesn't make a lot of operational sense, but it's possible.
