Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 09/13] net: phylink: simplify fixed-link case for
 ksettings_set method

For fixed links, we only allow the current settings, so this should be
a matter of merely rejecting an attempt to change the settings.  If the
settings agree, then there is nothing more we need to do.
