Add DSA support for the phylink mac_prepare() and mac_finish() calls. These were introduced as part of the PCS support to allow MACs to perform preparatory steps prior to configuration, and finalisation steps after the MAC and PCS has been configured. Introducing phylink_pcs support to the mv88e6xxx DSA driver needs some code moved out of its mac_config() stage into the mac_prepare() and mac_finish() stages, and this commit facilitates such code in DSA drivers.

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.
