Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 2/8] net: phylink: introduce generic method to query PHY in-band autoneg capability

Currently, phylink requires that fwnodes with links to SFP cages have
the 'managed = "in-band-status"' property, and based on this, the
initial pl->cfg_link_an_mode gets set to MLO_AN_INBAND.

However, some PHYs on SFP modules may have broken in-band autoneg, and
in that case, phylink selects a pl->cur_link_an_mode which is MLO_AN_PHY,
to tell the MAC/PCS side to disable in-band autoneg (link speed/status
will come over the MDIO side channel).

The check for PHY in-band autoneg capability is currently open-coded
based on a PHY ID comparison against the BCM84881. But the same problem
will also be need to solved in another case, where syncing in-band
autoneg will be desired between the MAC/PCS and an on-board PHY.
So the approach needs to be generalized, and eventually what is done for
the BCM84881 needs to be replaced with a more generic solution.

Add new API to the PHY device structure which allows it to report what
it supports in terms of in-band autoneg (whether it can operate with it
on, and whether it can operate with it off). The assumption is that
there is a Clause 37 compatible state machine in the PHY's PCS, and it
requires that the autoneg process completes before the lane transitions
to data mode. If we have a mismatch between in-band autoneg modes, the
system side link will be broken.

v3->v4:
- split the SFP cur_link_an_mode fixup to separate patch (this one)
- s/inband_aneg/an_inband/ to be more in line with phylink terminology
- clearer documentation, added kerneldocs
- don't return -EIO in phy_validate_an_inband(), this breaks with the
  Generic PHY driver because the expected return code is a bit mask, not
  a negative integer
