If (and only if) it's possible to convert mvneta and mvpp2 sanely.
Splitting the PCS makes total sense, but we have to cope with hardware
where there is no clear demarcation between the PCS and MAC.  DSA also
has issues, because it's written as a layered driver, which does not
lend itself to easy gradual conversion of DSA drivers.

The pcs_config() method should set the PCS according to the interface
mode (state->interface) and the advertisement (state->advertising).
Nothing else should be used. I suppose I should pass those explicitly
rather than the whole state structure to prevent any mis-use.

Yep.
