lan743x: Added fixed link and RGMII support
Microchip lan7431 is frequently connected to a phy. However, it can also be directly connected to a MII remote peer without any phy in between. For supporting such a phyless hardware setup in Linux we utilized phylib, which supports a fixed-link configuration via the device tree. And we added support for defining the connection type R/GMII in the device tree. New behavior: ------------- . The automatic speed and duplex detection of the lan743x silicon between mac and phy is disabled. Instead phylib is used like in other typical Linux drivers. The usage of phylib allows to specify fixed-link parameters in the device tree. . The device tree entry phy-connection-type is supported now with the modes RGMII or (G)MII (default). Development state: ------------------ . Tested with fixed-phy configurations. Not yet tested in normal configurations with phy. Microchip kindly offered testing as soon as the Corona measures allow this. .
