This needs some work.

These look like they can be plugged directly into the phylink_pcs
support - please use that in preference to bolting it ino the MAC
ops - as every other ethernet driver (with the exception of
mtk_eth_soc) does today.

Using state->duplex in mac_config has always been a problem, it's not
well defined, and there are paths through phylink where state->duplex
does not reflect the state of the link when this function is called.
This is why it's always been clearly documented that this shall not be
used in mac_config.

Using state->speed brings with it the same problems as state->duplex.

Please instead use mac_link_up() (and pcs_link_up()) - which are the
only callbacks from phylink that you can be sure give you the
speed, duplex and pause settings for the link.

Thanks.
