changes v8:
- Drop capability bitfield support from UAPI
- Drop channel selection support from user space
- Kernel now returns all available channels automatically
- Add OA Technical Committee numbers (TC1 / TC12)
- Minor doc and type cleanups
changes v7:
- htmldoc fixes
changes v6:
- rework the code to use uint instead of u32/u64
- use bitset for flags
- use nest for each separate channel
changes v5:
- add struct phy_mse_snapshot and phy_mse_config to the documentation
changes v4:
- remove -ENETDOWN as expected error value for get_mse_config() and
  get_mse_snapshot()
- fix htmldocs builds
- s/__ethtool-a-mse/--ethtool-a-mse
changes v3:
- add missing ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_MSE_* yaml changes
changes v2:
- rebase on latest net-next

This series introduces a generic kernel-userspace API for retrieving PHY
Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, together with netlink integration,
a fast-path reporting hook in LINKSTATE_GET, and initial driver
implementations for the KSZ9477 and DP83TD510E PHYs.

MSE is defined by the OPEN Alliance "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification [1] as a measure of
slicer error rate, typically used internally to derive the Signal
Quality Indicator (SQI). While SQI is useful as a normalized quality
index, it hides raw measurement data, varies in scaling and thresholds
between vendors, and may not indicate certain failure modes - for
example, cases where autonegotiation would fail even though SQI reports
a good link. In practice, such scenarios can only be investigated in
fixed-link mode; here, MSE can provide an empirically estimated value
indicating conditions under which autonegotiation would not succeed.

Example output with current implementation:
root@DistroKit:~ ethtool lan1
Settings for lan1:
...
        Speed: 1000Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
...
        Link detected: yes
        SQI: 5/7
        MSE: 3/127 (channel: worst)

root@DistroKit:~ ethtool --show-mse lan1
MSE diagnostics for lan1:
MSE Configuration:
        Max Average MSE: 127
        Refresh Rate: 2000000 ps
        Symbols per Sample: 250
        Supported capabilities: average channel-a channel-b channel-c
                                channel-d worst

MSE Snapshot (Channel: a):
        Average MSE: 4

MSE Snapshot (Channel: b):
        Average MSE: 3

MSE Snapshot (Channel: c):
        Average MSE: 2

MSE Snapshot (Channel: d):
        Average MSE: 3
