Daniel Golle 5281033831 generic: net: phy: use all SerDes MAC interface modes
Instead of forcing 2.5G PHYs into rate-adapter mode which results higher
energy consumption, lack of support for half-duplex modes and typically
worse performance when linked at speeds less than 2.5G, use SGMII mode
which allows the MAC to follow the PHY speed.

Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: populate host_interfaces when attaching PHY
Use bitmask of interfaces supported by the MAC for the PHY to choose
from if the declared interface mode is among those using a single pair
of SerDes lanes.
This will allow 2500Base-T PHYs to switch to SGMII on most hosts, which
results in half-duplex being supported in case the MAC supports them.
Without this change, 2500Base-T PHYs will always operate in 2500Base-X
mode with rate-matching, which is not only wasteful in terms of energy
consumption, but also limits the supported interface modes to
full-duplex only.
