net: dsa: microchip: keep compatibility with device tree blobs with no phy-mode
DSA has multiple ways of specifying a MAC connection to an internal PHY. One requires a DT description like this: port@0 { reg = <0>; phy-handle = <&internal_phy>; phy-mode = "internal"; }; (which is IMO the recommended approach, as it is the clearest description) but it is also possible to leave the specification as just: port@0 { reg = <0>; } and if the driver implements ds->ops->phy_read and ds->ops->phy_write, the DSA framework "knows" it should create a ds->slave_mii_bus, and it should connect to a non-OF-based internal PHY on this MDIO bus, at an MDIO address equal to the port address. There is also an intermediary way of describing things: port@0 { reg = <0>; phy-handle = <&internal_phy>; }; In case 2, DSA calls phylink_connect_phy() and in case 3, it calls phylink_of_phy_connect(). In both cases, phylink_create() has been called with a phy_interface_t of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, and in both cases, PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA is translated into phy->interface. It is important to note that phy_device_create() initializes dev->interface = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII, and so, when we use phylink_create(PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA), no one will override this, and we will end up with a PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII interface inherited from the PHY. All this means that in order to maintain compatibility with device tree blobs where the phy-mode property is missing, we need to allow the "gmii" phy-mode and treat it as "internal".
