I presume you intend to remove the rest of the exported xpcs functions
as well, in further "batches". Could you share in advance some details
about what you plan to do with xpcs_get_an_mode() as used in stmmac?

	if (xpcs_get_an_mode(priv->hw->xpcs, mode) != DW_AN_C73))

I'm interested because I actually have some downstream NXP patches which
introduce an entirely new MLO_AN_C73 negotiating mode in phylink (though
they don't convert XPCS to it, sadly). Just wondering where this is going
in your view.
