I would probably do the first two patches of your series differently:

Patch 1: add struct phylink + phylink_config to the wx structure, and
  add the helper functions for ksettings and nway reset.

Patch 2: convert txgbe to use the bits added in patch 1.

Patch 3: convert ngbe to phylink using the wx bits added in the first
  patch as a pure phylink conversion.

Patch 4: change how the PHY is attached/detached (as mentioned in the
  review of your existing first patch.)

which probably would have been easier to review.
