Having reviewed the situation, it seems that I added a translation
to mvpp2 driver for this, translating PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR to
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER, so anything using "10gbase-kr" in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/ is not a worry - however, those DT files
still need to be updated but my request to bootlin for help with
that has gone unanswered to date.  So, I'm tempted to change them
wholesale, since that's what we're doing in the mvpp2 driver anyway.

I would like to see these (re-)named to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_*GBASE* as
we have the same for previous definitions such as 1000BASEX and
2500BASEX.

Also, please update Documentation/networking/phy.rst with a description
of the new 40GBASE-KR4 mode.
