Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 13/15] dt-bindings: lynx-pcs: add properties for backplane mode

When the Lynx PCS is deployed on a copper backplane link, it must be
prepared to handle clause 73 autoneg and clause 72 link training, which
it can do using a dedicated AN/LT block. The latter doesn't need to be
described in the device tree, because it is discoverable from the SerDes
lanes.

The media type that is deployed on the link is not discoverable though,
so the introduction of a fsl,backplane-mode boolean property appears
necessary to determine whether the AN/LT block should be employed, or
left bypassed.
