<content type='text'>
Some Broadcom PHYs are capable to operate in simplified MII mode,
without TXER, RXER, CRS and COL signals as defined for the MII.
The MII-Lite mode can be used on most Ethernet controllers with full
MII interface by just leaving the input signals (RXER, CRS, COL)
inactive. The absence of COL signal makes half-duplex link modes
impossible but does not interfere with BroadR-Reach link modes on
Broadcom PHYs, because they are all full-duplex only.

Add MII-Lite interface mode, especially for Broadcom two-wire PHYs.

<title>net: phy: Add interface types for 50G and 100G</title>

<id>bbb7d478d91ac4d5c288e226cc8744daf3820798</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for 802.3cd based interface types 50GBASE-R and 100GBASE-P.
This choice in naming is based on section 135 of the 802.3-2022 IEEE
Standard.

In addition it is adding support for what I am referring to as LAUI
which is based on annex 135C of the IEEE Standard, and shares many
similarities with the 25/50G consortium. The main difference between the
two is that IEEE spec refers to LAUI as the AUI before the RS(544/514) FEC,
whereas the 25/50G use this lane and frequency combination after going
through RS(528/514), Base-R or no FEC at all.

In several occasions, phylib needs to lookup a set of matching speed and
duplex against a given linkmode set. Instead of relying on the
phy_settings array and thus iterate over the whole linkmodes list, use
the link_capabilities array to lookup these matches, as we aren't
interested in the actual link setting that matches but rather the speed
and duplex for that setting.

Convert the __set_linkmode_max_speed to use the link_capabilities array.
This makes it easy to clamp the linkmodes to a given max speed.
Introduce a new helper phy_caps_linkmode_max_speed to replace the
previous one that used phy_settings.
