Vladimir Oltean 1511ed0a01 net: phylink: add support for polling MAC PCS
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.
