Subject: [RFC PATCH 14/17] lxt973: Clean up fixed-mode fiber PHY handling

The LXT973 driver does not need to detect fiber/copper PHY modes in the
phy ->probe() method, it can instead check the register directly from
the ->config_aneg() method.

Furthermore, the driver should not manually poke the registers, but
instead adjust the PHY state variables and allow genphy_config_aneg() to
do the rest of the work.

NOTE: Needs testing by somebody with the hardware.
