Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: phy: add PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER

Recent discussion has revealed that the use of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR
is incorrect. Add a 10GBASE-R definition, document both the -R and -KR
versions, and the fact that 10GKR was used incorrectly.

+    Note: 10GBASE-R is just one protocol that can be used with XFI and SFI.
+    XFI and SFI permit multiple protocols over a single SERDES lane, and
+    also define the electrical characteristics of the signals with a host
+    compliance board plugged into the host XFP/SFP connector. Therefore,
+    XFI and SFI are not PHY interface types in their own right.

+    information.
+
+    Note: due to legacy usage, some 10GBASE-R usage incorrectly makes
+    use of this definition.
