    net: phylink: re-implement interface configuration with PCS · b7ad14c2
    Russell King authored
    With PCS support, how we implement interface reconfiguration (or other
    major reconfiguration) is not up to the job; we end up reconfiguring
    the PCS for an interface change while the link could potentially be up.
    In order to solve this, add two additional MAC methods for major
    configuration, one to prepare for the change, and one to finish the
    change.
    
    This allows mvneta and mvpp2 to shutdown what they require prior to the
    MAC and PCS configuration calls, and then restart as appropriate.
    
    This impacts ksettings_set(), which now needs to identify whether the
    change is a minor tweak to the advertisement masks or whether the
    interface mode has changed, and call the appropriate function for that
    update.
