What I actually meant is that a PHY attached from a SFP interface
should use link_config.interface.  A PHY attached as not part of
a SFP interface should continue using the DT-parsed link_interface.

What I envisaged seeing is phylink_connect_phy() being renamed to
__phylink_connect_phy(), and taking the phy interface,
phylink_sfp_connect_phy() calling __phylink_connect_phy() with
link_config.interface, and a replacement phylink_connect_phy() which
called __phylink_connect_phy() with link_interface.

Sorry I wasn't explicit enough last time around.
