Subject: [net-next RFC PATCH] net: phylink: add .pcs_link_down PCS OP

Permit for PCS driver to define specific operation to torn down the link
between the MAC and the PCS.

This might be needed for some PCS that reset counter or require special
reset to correctly work if the link needs to be restored later.

On phylink_link_down() call, the additional phylink_pcs_link_down() will
be called before .mac_link_down to torn down the link.

PCS driver will need to define .pcs_link_down to make use of this.
