net: phylink: delay MAC configuration for copper SFP modules
Knowing whether we need to delay the MAC configuration because a module may have a PHY is useful to phylink to allow NBASE-T modules to work on systems supporting no more than 2.5G speeds. This commit allows us to delay such configuration until after the PHY has been probed by recording the parsed capabilities, and if the module may have a PHY, doing no more until the module_start() notification is called. At that point, we either have a PHY, or we don't. We move the PHY-based setup a little later, and use the PHYs support capabilities rather than the EEPROM parsed capabilities to determine whether we can support the PHY.
