This is a bit of a nitpick, but the terminology is quite confusing between 
stmmac_mac_phylink_get_caps() and stmmac_mac_get_caps(). Ideally, we could just 
get rid of the whole stmmac_do_void_callback() complexity and just call 
phylink_get_caps() directly. In the meantime, maybe renaming this to 
stmmac_mac_core_get_caps() would be acceptable?

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
