Add a new DSA switch operation, phylink_get_interfaces, which should
fill in which PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_* are supported by given port.

Use this before phylink_create() to fill phylinks supported_interfaces
member, allowing phylink to determine which PHY_INTERFACE_MODEs are
supported.

To reduce code churn, the same patch makes multiple changes, since they
all touch the same lines:

1. The implementations for these two are identical, just with different
   function pointers. Reduce duplications and name the function pointers
   "mod_cb" instead of "add_cb" and "del_cb". Pass the event as argument.

2. Drop the "const" attribute from "orig_dev". If the driver needs to
   check whether orig_dev belongs to itself and then
   call_switchdev_notifiers(orig_dev, SWITCHDEV_FDB_OFFLOADED), it
   can't, because call_switchdev_notifiers takes a non-const struct
   net_device *.

Now that we guarantee that SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE events have
finished executing by the time we leave our bridge upper interface,
we've established a stronger boundary condition for how long the
dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work() might run.

As such, it is no longer possible for DSA slave interfaces to become
unregistered, since they are still bridge ports.

So delete the unnecessary dev_hold() and dev_put().

<title>net: dsa: drop rtnl_lock from dsa_slave_switchdev_event_work</title>

After talking with Ido Schimmel, it became clear that rtnl_lock is not
actually required for anything that is done inside the
SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD,DEL}_TO_DEVICE deferred work handlers.

The reason why it was probably added by Arkadi Sharshevsky in commit
c9eb3e0f8701 ("net: dsa: Add support for learning FDB through
notification") was to offer the same locking/serialization guarantees as
.ndo_fdb_{add,del} and avoid reworking any drivers.

DSA has implemented .ndo_fdb_add and .ndo_fdb_del until commit
b117e1e8a86d ("net: dsa: delete dsa_legacy_fdb_add and
dsa_legacy_fdb_del") - that is to say, until fairly recently.

But those methods have been deleted, so now we are free to drop the
rtnl_lock as well.

Note that exposing DSA switch drivers to an unlocked method which was
previously serialized by the rtnl_mutex is a potentially dangerous
affair. Driver writers couldn't ensure that their internal locking
scheme does the right thing even if they wanted.

We could err on the side of paranoia and introduce a switch-wide lock
inside the DSA framework, but that seems way overreaching. Instead, we
could check as many drivers for regressions as we can, fix those first,
then let this change go in once it is assumed to be fairly safe.

Ever since Vivien's conversion of the ds-&gt;ports array into a dst-&gt;ports
list, and the introduction of dsa_to_port, iterations through the ports
of a switch became quadratic whenever dsa_to_port was needed.

dsa_to_port can either be called directly, or indirectly through the
dsa_is_{user,cpu,dsa,unused}_port helpers.

Use the newly introduced dsa_switch_for_each_port() iteration macro
that works with the iterator variable being a struct dsa_port *dp
directly, and not an int i. It is an expensive variable to go from i to
dp, but cheap to go from dp to i.

This macro iterates through the entire ds-&gt;dst-&gt;ports list and filters
by the ports belonging just to the switch provided as argument.

Jakub pointed out that we have a new ethtool API for reporting device

Add a small amount of plumbing to allow DSA drivers to take advantage of
this when exposing statistics.

DSA supports connecting to a phy-handle, and has a fallback to a non-OF
based method of connecting to an internal PHY on the switch's own MDIO
bus, if no phy-handle and no fixed-link nodes were present.

The -ENODEV error code from the first attempt (phylink_of_phy_connect)
is what triggers the second attempt (phylink_connect_phy).

However, when the first attempt returns a different error code than
-ENODEV, this results in an unbalance of calls to phylink_create and
phylink_destroy by the time we exit the function. The phylink instance
has leaked.

There are many other error codes that can be returned by
phylink_of_phy_connect. For example, phylink_validate returns -EINVAL.
So this is a practical issue too.
