Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/13] net: phylink: Register a phy_port for MAC-driven SFP busses

phy_port tracks the interfaces that a netdevice feeds into. SFP cages are
such ports, but so far we are only tracking the ones that are driven by
PHYs acting as media-converters.

Let's populate a phy_port for MAC driver SFP cages, handled by phylink.

This phy_port represents the SFP cage itself, and not the module that
may be plugged into it. It's therefore not an MDI interface, so only the
'interfaces' field is relevant here.

The phy_port is only populated for 'NETDEV' phylink instances, as
otherwise we don't have any topology to attach the port to.
