Vladimir Oltean af7cd0366e net: dsa: sja1105: Fix broken fixed-link interfaces on user ports
PHYLIB and PHYLINK handle fixed-link interfaces differently. PHYLIB
wraps them in a software PHY ("pseudo fixed link") phydev construct such
that .adjust_link driver callbacks see an unified API. Whereas PHYLINK
simply creates a phylink_link_state structure and passes it to
.mac_config.

At the time the driver was introduced, DSA was using PHYLIB for the
CPU/cascade ports (the ones with no net devices) and PHYLINK for
everything else.

As explained below:

  net: dsa: Plug in PHYLINK support

  Drivers that utilize fixed links for user-facing ports (e.g: bcm_sf2)
  will need to implement phylink_mac_ops from now on to preserve
  functionality, since PHYLINK *does not* create a phy_device instance
  for fixed links.

In the above patch, DSA guards the .phylink_mac_config callback against
a NULL phydev pointer.  Therefore, .adjust_link is not called in case of
a fixed-link user port.

This patch fixes the situation by converting the driver from using
.adjust_link to .phylink_mac_config.  This can be done now in a unified
fashion for both slave and CPU/cascade ports because DSA now uses
PHYLINK for all ports.

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.
