    net: phylink: pass supported host PHY interface modes to phylib for SFP's PHYs · eca68a3c
    Marek Behún authored
    Pass the supported PHY interface types to phylib if the PHY we are
    connecting is inside a SFP, so that the PHY driver can select an
    appropriate host configuration mode for their interface according to
    the host capabilities.
    
    For example the Marvell 88X3310 PHY inside RollBall SFP modules
    defaults to 10gbase-r mode on host's side, and the marvell10g
    driver currently does not change this setting. But a host may not
    support 10gbase-r. For example Turris Omnia only supports sgmii,
    1000base-x and 2500base-x modes. The PHY can be configured to use
    those modes, but in order for the PHY driver to do that, it needs
    to know which modes are supported.
