I can't think of a reasonable solution to this at the moment. One
solution could be pushing this down into the platform code to deal
with as an interim solution, via the new .pcs_init() method.

We could also do that with the current XPCS code, since we know that
only Intel mGBE uses xpcs. This would probably allow us to get rid
of the has_xpcs flag.
