If the network device supplies a supported interface bitmap, we can use
that during phylink's validation to simplify MAC drivers in two ways by
using the supported_interfaces bitmap to:
1. reject unsupported interfaces before calling into the MAC driver.
2. generate the set of all supported link modes across all supported
interfaces (used mainly for SFP, but also some 10G PHYs.)

Joakim Zhang reports that Wake-on-Lan with the stmmac ethernet driver broke
when moving the incorrect handling of mac link state out of mac_config().
This reason this breaks is because the stmmac's WoL is handled by the MAC
rather than the PHY, and phylink doesn't cater for that scenario.
This patch adds the necessary phylink code to handle suspend/resume events
according to whether the MAC still needs a valid link or not. This is the
barest minimum for this support.

Add a way for MAC PCS to have private data while keeping independence
from struct phylink_config, which is used for the MAC itself. We need
this independence as we will have stand-alone code for PCS that is
independent of the MAC. Introduce struct phylink_pcs, which is
designed to be embedded in a driver private data structure.
This structure does not include a mdio_device as there are PCS
implementations such as the Marvell DSA and network drivers where this
is not necessary.

With PCS support, how we implement interface reconfiguration (or other
major reconfiguration) is not up to the job; we end up reconfiguring
the PCS for an interface change while the link could potentially be up.
In order to solve this, add two additional MAC methods for major
configuration, one to prepare for the change, and one to finish the
change.
This allows mvneta and mvpp2 to shutdown what they require prior to the
MAC and PCS configuration calls, and then restart as appropriate.
This impacts ksettings_set(), which now needs to identify whether the
change is a minor tweak to the advertisement masks or whether the
interface mode has changed, and call the appropriate function for that
update.

of PCS support, so that we perform the minimum required; only the PCS

We need to change the pcs_config() signature to pass whether resolved
pause should be passed to the MAC for setups such as mvneta and mvpp2
where doing so overrides the MAC manual flow controls.

operations include:

- pcs_config() - configures the PCS for the specified mode, PHY
interface type, and setting the advertisement.
- pcs_an_restart() - restarts 802.3 in-band negotiation with the
link partner
- pcs_link_up() - informs the PCS that link has come up, and the
parameters of the link. Link parameters are used to program the
PCS for fixed speed and non-inband modes.

Some MAC PCS blocks are unable to provide interrupts when their status
changes. As we already have support in phylink for polling status, use
this to provide a hook for MACs to enable polling mode.
The patch idea was picked up from Russell King's suggestion on the macb
phylink patch thread here [0] but the implementation was changed.
Instead of introducing a new phylink_start_poll() function, which would
make the implementation cumbersome for common PHYLINK implementations
for multiple types of devices, like DSA, just add a boolean property to
the phylink_config structure, which is just as backwards-compatible.

In the PHYLINK_DEV operation type, the PHYLINK infrastructure can work
without an attached net_device. For printing usecases, instead, a struct
device * should be passed to PHYLINK using the phylink_config structure.
Also, netif_carrier_* calls ar guarded by the presence of a valid
net_device. When using the PHYLINK_DEV operation type, we cannot check
link status using the netif_carrier_ok() API so instead, keep an
internal state of the MAC and call mac_link_{down,up} only when the link
changed.

The phylink_config structure will encapsulate a pointer to a struct
device and the operation type requested for this instance of PHYLINK.
This patch does not make any functional changes, it just transitions the
PHYLINK internals and all its users to the new API.
A pointer to a phylink_config structure will be passed to
phylink_create() instead of the net_device directly. Also, the same
phylink_config pointer will be passed back to all phylink_mac_ops
callbacks instead of the net_device. Using this mechanism, a PHYLINK
user can get the original net_device using a structure such as
'to_net_dev(config->dev)' or directly the structure containing the
phylink_config using a container_of call.
At the moment, only the PHYLINK_NETDEV is defined as a valid operation
type for PHYLINK. In this mode, a valid reference to a struct device
linked to the original net_device should be passed to PHYLINK through
the phylink_config structure.
This API changes is mainly driven by the necessity of adding a new
operation type in PHYLINK that disconnects the phy_device from the
net_device and also works when the net_device is lacking.

The link between the ethernet MAC and its PHY has become more complex
as the interface evolves. This is especially true with serdes links,
where the part of the PHY is effectively integrated into the MAC.
Serdes links can be connected to a variety of devices, including SFF
modules soldered down onto the board with the MAC, a SFP cage with
a hotpluggable SFP module which may contain a PHY or directly modulate
the serdes signals onto optical media with or without a PHY, or even
a classical PHY connection.
Moreover, the negotiation information on serdes links comes in two
varieties - SGMII mode, where the PHY provides its speed/duplex/flow
control information to the MAC, and 1000base-X mode where both ends
exchange their abilities and each resolve the link capabilities.
This means we need a more flexible means to support these arrangements,
particularly with the hotpluggable nature of SFP, where the PHY can
be attached or detached after the network device has been brought up.
Ethtool information can come from multiple sources:
- we may have a PHY operating in either SGMII or 1000base-X mode, in
which case we take ethtool/mii data directly from the PHY.
- we may have a optical SFP module without a PHY, with the MAC
operating in 1000base-X mode - the ethtool/mii data needs to come
from the MAC.
- we may have a copper SFP module with a PHY whic can't be accessed,
which means we need to take ethtool/mii data from the MAC.
Phylink aims to solve this by providing an intermediary between the
MAC and PHY, providing a safe way for PHYs to be hotplugged, and
allowing a SFP driver to reconfigure the serdes connection.
Phylink also takes over support of fixed link connections, where the
speed/duplex/flow control are fixed, but link status may be controlled
by a GPIO signal. By avoiding the fixed-phy implementation, phylink
can provide a faster response to link events: fixed-phy has to wait for
phylib to operate its state machine, which can take several seconds.
