[RFC PATCH net-next 6/8] net: phy: initialize phydev->master_slave_set to MASTER_SLAVE_CFG_UNKNOWN

[Vladimir Oltean]

It doesn't really make sense for phydev->master_slave_set (the user
requested AN master/slave configuration) to take the value
MASTER_SLAVE_CFG_UNSUPPORTED. That only exists, AFAICS, to detect
implementations which don't report phydev->master_slave_get and
phydev->master_slave_state.

Permit the most trivial of drivers to exist, that where .config_aneg()
accepts any user request, and is implemented as:

	/* We support anything */
	phydev->master_slave_get = phydev->master_slave_set;

This is currently rejected by ethnl_update_linkmodes() with the message
"master/slave configuration not supported by device", precisely because
lsettings->master_slave_cfg (which came from phydev->master_slave_get
through phy_ethtool_ksettings_get()) is MASTER_SLAVE_CFG_UNSUPPORTED
(coming from phydev->master_slave_get, see implementation above).

By making phydev->master_slave_set never hold UNSUPPORTED, we avoid the
above confusion (driver does implement master/slave but still gets
detected as unsupported by core) without special casing in the driver.
