Russell King df3f57ac96 net: phylink: extend clause 45 PHY validation workaround
Commit e45d1f5288 ("net: phylink: support Clause 45 PHYs on SFP+
modules") added a workaround to support clause 45 PHYs which
dynamically switch their interface mode on SFP+ modules.  This was
implemented by validating the PHYs supported/advertising using
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, rather than the specific interface mode that
we attached the PHY with.

However, we already have a situation where phylink is used to connect
a Marvell 88X3310 PHY which also behaves in exactly the same way, but
which seemingly doesn't need this.  The reason seems to be that the
mvpp2 driver sets a whole bunch of link modes for
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR down to 10Mb/s, despite 10GBASE-R not actually
supporting anything but 10Gb/s speeds.

When testing with drivers that (correctly) take the mvneta approach,
where the validate() method only returns what can be supported /
advertised for the specified link mode, we find that Clause 45 PHYs do
not behave as we expect: their advertisement is restricted to what
the current link will support, rather than what the PHY supports
through its dynamic switching.

Extend this workaround to all such cases; if we have a Clause 45 PHY
attaching via any means, except in USXGMII, XAUI and RXAUI which are
all unable to support this dynamic switching or have other solutions
to it, then we need to validate using PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA.

This should allow mvpp2 to switch to a more conformant validate()
implementation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
