net: phylink: improve clause 45 PHY ksettings_set implementation
While testing ethtool with the Methode DM7052 module, it was noticed that attempting to set the advertising mask results in the mask being truncated to the support offered by the currently chosen PHY interface mode. When a PHY dynamically changes the PHY interface mode, limiting the advertising mask in this way is not correct - if the PHY happened to negotiate 10GBASE-T, and selected 10GBASE-R as the host interface, we don't want to restrict the advertisement to just 10GBASE-* modes. Rework setting the advertisement to take account of this; do not pass the requested advertisement through phylink_validate(), but rely on the advertisement restriction (supported mask) set when the PHY was initially setup.
