3c1bcc8614 net: ethernet: Convert phydev advertize and supported from u32 to link mode
There are a few MAC/PHYs combinations which now support > 1Gbps. These
may need to make use of link modes with bits > 31. Thus their
supported PHY features or advertised features cannot be implemented
using the current bitmap in a u32. Convert to using a linkmode bitmap,
which can support all the currently devices link modes, and is future
proof as more modes are added.

7e41837527 net: phy: phylink: fix SFP interface autodetection
When connecting SFP PHY to phylink use the detected interface.
Otherwise, the link fails to come up when the configured 'phy-mode'
differs from the SFP detected mode.

Move most of phylink_connect_phy() into __phylink_connect_phy(), and
leave phylink_connect_phy() as a wrapper. phylink_sfp_connect_phy() can
now pass the SFP detected PHY interface to __phylink_connect_phy().

This fixes 1GB SFP module link up on eth3 of the Macchiatobin board that
is configured in the DT to "2500base-x" phy-mode.

aeeb2e8fde net: phy: phylink: ensure the carrier is off when starting phylink
Phylink made an assumption about the carrier state being down when
calling phylink_start(). If this assumption isn't satisfied, the
internal phylink state could misbehave and a net device could end up not
being functional.

This patch fixes this by explicitly calling netif_carrier_off() in
phylink_start().

624c0f0239 phylink: add helper for configuring 2500BaseX modes
Add a helper for MAC drivers to use in their validate callback to deal
with 2500BaseX vs 1000BaseX modes, where the hardware supports both
but it is not possible to automatically select between them.

This helper defaults to 1000BaseX, as that is the 802.3 standard, and
will allow users to select 2500BaseX either by forcing the speed if
AN is disabled, or by changing the advertising mask if AN is enabled.
Disabling AN is not recommended as it is only the speed that we're
interested in controlling, not the duplex or pause mode parameters.

c6ab3008b6 net: phy: phylink: Provide PHY interface to mac_link_{up, down}
In preparation for having DSA transition entirely to PHYLINK, we need to pass a
PHY interface type to the mac_link_{up,down} callbacks because we may have to
make decisions on that (e.g: turn on/off RGMII interfaces etc.). We do not pass
an entire phylink_link_state because not all parameters (pause, duplex etc.) are
defined when the link is down, only link and interface are.

Update mvneta accordingly since it currently implements phylink_mac_ops.

e31a6f9067 net: phylink: Remove redundant netdev.phydev assignment
As a part of working on MII time stamping infrastructure, I was trying
to figure out how netdev->phydev gets assigned, and I stumbled across
this.  Ever since the new phylink code came in, the field is assigned
twice.

The function, phylink_connect_phy(), calls

	phy_attach_direct()
	phylink_bringup_phy()

and phy_attach_direct() sets

	dev->phydev = phydev;

but phylink_bringup_phy() then sets the same field again:

	pl->netdev->phydev = phy;

Similarly, the function, phylink_of_phy_connect(), calls

	of_phy_attach()
		phy_attach_direct()
	phylink_bringup_phy()

The removal code is also duplicated:

phylink_disconnect_phy()
	pl->netdev->phydev = NULL;
	phy_disconnect()
		phy_detach()
			phydev->attached_dev->phydev = NULL;

This patch removes the redundant assignments, restricting manipulation
of the netdev.phydev field to phy_attach_direct() and phy_detach().

9525ae8395 phylink: add phylink infrastructure
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.
In comparison, phylink takes milliseconds.

- remove sync status
- rework supported and advertisment handling
- add 1000base-x speed for fixed links
- use functionality exported from phy-core, reworking
  __phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set for it
