Russell King b7ad14c2fe net: phylink: re-implement interface configuration with PCS
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
