AI seems to be right, what we'd actually need here is 
"require l2 connectivity" Let's leave it be for now,
just drop the require_ipver("4") and maybe we'll revisit
this when we also have the PHY related tests.

Could you break out the selftests to a separate series
for net-next? This posting seems to have conflicted with
other stmmac patches on the list and it'd be great to
run them a few times on our CI NICs before merging.
