There is a lot of code here, and i'm not really going to understand it
until i use it. I have a couple of boards with SFFs connected to
switches, so i will spend some time over the next month or so to make
DSA use phylink. As is usual, we can sort out any issues as we go
along.

David, if it still applies cleanly, can you add it to net-next?

       Thanks
