net: phylink: pass supported host PHY interface modes to phylib for S…
…FP's PHYs Pass the supported PHY interface types to phylib if the PHY we are connecting is inside a SFP, so that the PHY driver can select an appropriate host configuration mode for their interface according to the host capabilities. For example the Marvell 88X3310 PHY inside RollBall SFP modules defaults to 10gbase-r mode on host's side, and the marvell10g driver currently does not change this setting. But a host may not support 10gbase-r. For example Turris Omnia only supports sgmii, 1000base-x and 2500base-x modes. The PHY can be configured to use those modes, but in order for the PHY driver to do that, it needs to know which modes are supported.
