Trying to wrap my head around the API for rate matching that was
originally proposed and how it applies to what we read from Aquantia
registers now.

IIUC, phylink (via the PHY library) asks "what kind of rate matching is
supported for this SERDES protocol?". It doesn't ask "via what kind of
rate matching can this SERDES protocol support this particular media
side speed?".

Your code walks through the speed_table[] of media speeds (from 10M up
until the max speed of the SERDES) and sees whether the PHY was
provisioned, for that speed, to use PAUSE rate adaptation.

If the PHY firmware uses a combination like this: 10GBASE-R/XFI for
media speeds of 10G, 5G, 2.5G (rate adapted), and SGMII for 1G, 100M
and 10M, a call to your implementation of
aqr107_get_rate_matching(PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER) would return
RATE_MATCH_NONE, right? So only ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_10000baseT_Full_BIT
would be advertised on the media side?

Shouldn't you take into consideration in your aqr107_rate_adapt_ok()
function only the media side link speeds for which the PHY was actually
*configured* to use the SERDES protocol @iface?
