[PATCH RFC net-next v3 0/8] net: stmmac: improve PCS support

["Russell King (Oracle)" <linux@armlinux.org.uk>]

This series is the next of the three part series sorting out the PCS
support in stmmac, building on part 2:

	net: stmmac: qcom-ethqos: further serdes reorganisation

Similar patches have been posted previously. This series does away with
the common SerDes PHY support, instead using a flag to indicate whether
2500Mbps mode is supported (STMMAC_FLAG_SERDES_SUPPORTS_2500M.) At this
time, I have no plans to resurect the common SerDes PHY support - the
generic PHY layer implementations are just too random to consider that,
and I certainly do not want the extra work of fixing that.

I've also changed the last patch which prints warnings when qcom-ethqos
changes the PCS state - this will now indicate in a readable form
whether the ANE or SGMRAL bits have changed state, rather than having
to refer back to the definitions in the code or the databook.

I am hoping that - subject to this working for qcom-ethqos - we can
drop this last patch in the final submission, along with the
dwmac_ctrl_ane() and ethqos_pcs_set_inband() functions and associated
definitions. This will also mean that stmmac will finally be driving
the PCS correctly from a phylink point of view.

v3:
- move printing after register write in v2 series patch 7.
- reorder patches from v2 and add a new patch: 4, 5, 1, 3, 2,
  new patch, 6, 7.
- the new patch enables use of phylink's inband mode for SGMII with
  qcom-ethqos, so the last patch reporting PCS configuration changes
  should now be silent.

If the last patch is now silent upon testing, I will replace that
with a patch which removes ethqos_pcs_set_inband() and
stmmac_pcs_ctrl_ane().
