net: phy: Introduce generic SFP handling for PHY drivers
There are currently 4 PHY drivers that can drive downstream SFPs:
marvell.c, marvell10g.c, at803x.c and marvell-88x2222.c. Most of the
logic is boilerplate, either calling into generic phylib helpers (for
SFP PHY attach, bus attach, etc.) or performing the same tasks with a
bit of validation :
- Getting the module's expected interface mode
- Making sure the PHY supports it
- Optionaly perform some configuration to make sure the PHY outputs
the right mode
This can be made more generic by leveraging the phy_port, and its
configure_mii() callback which allows setting a port's interfaces when
the port is a serdes.
Introduce a generic PHY SFP support. If a driver doesn't probe the SFP
bus itself, but an SFP phandle is found in devicetree/firmware, then the
generic PHY SFP support will be used, relying on port ops.
PHY driver need to :
- Register a .attach_port() callback
- When a serdes port is registered to the PHY, drivers must set
port->interfaces to the set of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE the port can output
- If the port has limitations regarding speed, duplex and aneg, the
port can also fine-tune the final linkmodes that can be supported
- The port may register a set of ops, including .configure_mii(), that
will be called at module_insert time to adjust the interface based on
the module detected.
