Add a helper for MAC drivers to use in their validate callback to deal with 2500BaseX vs 1000BaseX modes, where the hardware supports both but it is not possible to automatically select between them. This helper defaults to 1000BaseX, as that is the 802.3 standard, and will allow users to select 2500BaseX either by forcing the speed if AN is disabled, or by changing the advertising mask if AN is enabled. Disabling AN is not recommended as it is only the speed that we're interested in controlling, not the duplex or pause mode parameters.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
