Assume 'usxgmii' being set as initial interface mode in DTS. Now plug
a 2.5GBase-T SFP module with exposed PHY. Currently this results in
a rather bizare situation:
RTL8221B-VB-CG 2.5Gbps PHY (C45) i2c:sfp1-wan:11: rtl822x_c45_get_features: supported=00,00000000,00008000,000080ef
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: requesting link mode phy/2500base-x with support 00,00000000,00008000,0000e0ef
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: switched to phy/2500base-x link mode <<< !!!!!!
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: major config usxgmii <<< !!!!!!
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: phylink_mac_config: mode=phy/usxgmii/none adv=00,00000000,00000000,00000000 pause=00
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: PHY [i2c:sfp1-wan:11] driver [RTL8221B-VB-CG 2.5Gbps PHY (C45)] (irq=POLL)
mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet eth2: phy: 2500base-x setting supported 00,00000000,00008000,0000e0ef advertising 00,00000000,00008000,0000e0ef
Then the link seemingly comes up (but is dead) because no subsequent
call to phylink_major_config actually configured MAC and PCS for
2500base-x mode.
This is because phylink_mac_initial_config() considers
pl->phy_state.interface if in MLO_AN_PHY mode while
phylink_sfp_set_config() only sets pl->link_config.interface.
Also set pl->phy_state.interface in phylink_sfp_set_config().

Does it _actually_ matter?
When the PHY's link comes up, doesn't it get sorted out for the real
mode that will be used?

It does matter, I'm suggesting this change because the SFP module
won't work without it.

That does happen once the interface mode *changes* to anything else,
than 2500M/Full and the PHY driver sets state->interface to SGMII.
However, initially it does *not* happen, probably because phylink
ends up believing MAC and PCS are already operating in 2500base-x
mode (but that's not the case).
Previously (eg. with the BananaPi R3) this has not been a problem
because the default interface mode defined in device tree anyway has
also been 2500base-x. Now that I'm testing the same module with the
R4 which uses usxgmii by default the problem surfaced.

Okay, I think what we have here is an ordering issue in
phylink_sfp_connect_phy(). phylink_bringup_phy() will set
phy_state.interface, but that happens after the major config has
happened.
With a built-in PHY, the sequence would be:
- connect to PHY (which calls phylink_bringup_phy())
- phylink_start() (which calls phylink_major_config())
whereas in this case we have the reverse. That needs to be sorted.
I can't do that over this weekend, but if you remind me I'll look
at it next week.
Thanks.
