phylink_parse_mode() populates all possible supported link modes for a given phy_interface_t, for the case where a phylib phy may be absent and we can't retrieve the supported link modes from that. Russell points out that since the introduction of the generic validation helpers phylink_get_capabilities() and phylink_caps_to_linkmodes(), we can rewrite this procedure to populate the pl->supported mask, so that instead of spelling out the link modes, we derive an intermediary mac_capabilities bit field, and we convert that to the equivalent link modes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
