Commit ea269a6f7207 ("net: phylink: Update SFP selected interface on
advertising changes") added a better solution to selecting the
interface mode for SFPs using the advertisement mask. This method will
work for mvneta and mvpp2 when selecting between 2500base-X and
1000base-X without needing to use the basex helper, or indicate that
we support both 1000base-X and 2500base-X when in either of these two
interface modes.
Hence, we need to eliminate the validation prior to selecting the
interface, otherwise when we clean up mvneta's validation function, we
will end up locking to 2500base-X as we validate with an interface mode
of PHY_INERFACE_MODE_2500BASEX.
The supported mask will already have been reduced down to the union of
support for the SFP and MAC already, so we can be confident that the
advertisement mask is already appropriately restricted. We only need to
select the appropriate interface, and then revalidate with the new
interface mode.
We get rid of the check for pl->sfp_port too, this is meaningless here
as it doesn't get cleared when a module is removed, so it doesn't
indicate if a module is present. Just rely on pl->sfp_bus.

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.
