Your changes should go into mtk_eth_soc.c, you sould not need to modify
phylink for this and as the link being up or down is still reported
correctly by the hardware, it is also ok to have phylink believe that
in-band-status is being used and just not set the SGMII_AN bit in the
MediaTek LynxI hardware.
(ie. only auto-negotiation of speed and duplex doesn't work in
2500Base-X mode)
