[PATCH RFC net-next] net: phylink: add quirk for disabling in-band-status for mediatek pcs at 2500base-x

From: Eric Woudstra

In follow up to: net: pcs: pcs-mtk-lynxi: use 2500Base-X without AN

MediaTek LynxI PCS, 2500Base-X will only work without inband status due to
hardware limitation.

I understand this patch probably will not get approved as it is now, but
perhaps with some pointers in the correct direction to follow, I can change
it so it could be. It does however get the result that the rtl8221b on a
sfp module functions correctly, with and without (as optical sfp) the phy
attached and without using a quirk/ethtool to disable auto-negotiation.

Introduce bool phylink_major_no_inband(pl,interface), a function similar to
bool phylink_phy_no_inband(phy). An option could be to use a function like
bool pcs->ops->supports_inband(interface), where if the function-pointer is
null, it means it is supported for all. This instead of using
of_device_is_compatible() inside the phylink_major_no_inband() function.

Code added to phylink_major_config():

When there is no PHY attached, pl->pcs_neg_mode is set to
PHYLINK_PCS_NEG_INBAND_DISABLED.

When there is a PHY attached, pl->cur_link_an_mode is set to MLO_AN_PHY.
To have the pcs function correctly with the rtl8221b, we need to do the
following to the in-band-status:

We need to disable it when interface of the pcs is set to 2500base-x,
but need it enable it when switched to sgmii.

So we get:

[...] mtk_soc_eth ... eth1: phy link up sgmii/1Gbps/Full/none/rx/tx
[...] mtk_soc_eth ... eth1: phylink_mac_config: mode=inband/sgmii/none
adv=00,00000000,00000000,00000000 pause=03

[...] mtk_soc_eth ... eth1: phy link up 2500base-x/2.5Gbps/Full/none/rx/tx
[...] mtk_soc_eth ... eth1: phylink_mac_config: mode=phy/2500base-x/none
adv=00,00000000,00008000,0000606f pause=03
