Now that phylink no longer calls phy_get_rate_matching with
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, phys no longer need to support it. Remove the
documentation mandating support.

If the external phy used by current mac interface is
managed by another mac interface, it means that this
network port cannot work independently, especially
when the system suspends and resumes, the following
trace may appear, so we should create a device link
between phy dev and mac dev.

The previous attempt to augment carrier_down (see Link)
was not met with much enthusiasm so let's do the simple
thing of exposing what some devices already maintain.
Add a common ethtool statistic for link going down.
Currently users have to maintain per-driver mapping
to extract the right stat from the vendor-specific ethtool -S
stats. carrier_down does not fit the bill because it counts
a lot of software related false positives.

Add the statistic to the extended link state API to steer
vendors towards implementing all of it.

Implement for bnxt and all Linux-controlled PHYs. mlx5 and (possibly)
enic also have a counter for this but I leave the implementation
to their maintainers.

<title>net: phylink: pass supported host PHY interface modes to phylib for SFP's PHYs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eca68a3c7d05b38b4e728cead0c49718f2bc1d5a</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>net: phy: Add support for rate matching</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=0c3e10cb44232833a50cb8e3e784c432906a60c1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0c3e10cb44232833a50cb8e3e784c432906a60c1</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to
the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at
one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to
the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for
achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame
based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and
2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W).

This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same
form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices
will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening
these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if
all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching,
then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would
suffice.

For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.

802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and
"rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls
this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is
shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this
context.

<title>net: phy: Add 1000BASE-KX interface mode</title>

<name>Sean Anderson</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=05ad5d4581c3c1cc724fe50d4652833fb9f3037b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:05ad5d4581c3c1cc724fe50d4652833fb9f3037b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add 1000BASE-KX interface mode. This 1G backplane ethernet as described in
clause 70. Clause 73 autonegotiation is mandatory, and only full duplex
operation is supported.

Although at the PMA level this interface mode is identical to
1000BASE-X, it uses a different form of in-band autonegation. This
justifies a separate interface mode, since the interface mode (along
with the MLO_AN_* autonegotiation mode) sets the type of autonegotiation
which will be used on a link. This results in more than just electrical
differences between the link modes.

With regard to 1000BASE-X, 1000BASE-KX holds a similar position to
SGMII: same signaling, but different autonegotiation. PCS drivers
(which typically handle in-band autonegotiation) may only support
1000BASE-X, and not 1000BASE-KX. Similarly, the phy mode is used to
configure serdes phys with phy_set_mode_ext. Due to the different
electrical standards (SFI or XFI vs Clause 70), they will likely want to
use different configuration. Adding a phy interface mode for
1000BASE-KX helps simplify configuration in these areas.

Some phy modes such as QSGMII multiplex several MAC&lt;-&gt;PHY links on one
single physical interface. QSGMII used to be the only one supported, but
other modes such as QUSGMII also carry multiple links.

This helper allows getting the number of links that are multiplexed
on a given interface.

<title>net: phy: Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5e61fe157a27afc7c0d4f7bcbceefdca536c015f</id>
<content type='text'>
The QUSGMII mode is a derivative of Cisco's USXGMII standard. This
standard is pretty similar to SGMII, but allows for faster speeds, and
has the build-in bits for Quad and Octa variants (like QSGMII).

The main difference with SGMII/QSGMII is that USXGMII/QUSGMII re-uses
the preamble to carry various information, named 'Extensions'.

As of today, the USXGMII standard only mentions the "PCH" extension,
which is used to convey timestamps, allowing in-band signaling of PTP
timestamps without having to modify the frame itself.

This commit adds support for that mode. When no extension is in use, it
behaves exactly like QSGMII, although it's not compatible with QSGMII.
