Well, I suppose the real reason is that this will cause a merge conflict
(or lack of one), since this series introduces phylink_interface_max_speed
in patch 7, which is supposed to contain all the phy modes. So depending on
what gets merged first, the other series will have to be modified and resent.

To be honest, I had expected that trivial patches like that would have been
applied and merged already.
