net: dsa: xilinx: wire up phylink for the switch ports

This wires up the MAC-side phylink ops for the three switch ports:
phylink_get_caps advertises RGMII variants, SGMII and GMII plus MAC_100FD
and MAC_1000FD on the two external user ports and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_INTERNAL
with MAC_1000FD on the CPU port, while mac_link_up/mac_link_down program the
speed-config field and the TX_EN / RX_EN bits.

[Severity: Low]
Should the set of interface modes advertised here match the DT binding
added earlier in this series?

xlnx_tsn_phylink_get_caps() advertises six modes for ports 1 and 2:
phy_interface_set_rgmii() sets PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, RGMII_ID,
RGMII_RXID and RGMII_TXID, and SGMII and GMII are set explicitly.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/xlnx,tsn-endpoint-ethernet-mac.yaml
allows a narrower set for the same ports:

              phy-mode:
                enum:
                  - gmii
                  - rgmii
                  - rgmii-id

and the top-level description repeats the narrower claim:

  It also supports GMII/RGMII interfaces for connection
  to an external PHY, enabling full-duplex operation at 100 Mb/s and
  1 Gb/s speeds.

If the MACs really can do SGMII and the rgmii-rxid / rgmii-txid delay
variants, does a board synthesised that way fail dtbs_check because the
schema rejects the phy-mode value the driver supports?

If instead the binding is the accurate description, does this advertise
interface modes the hardware does not implement?

Since mac_config is empty and has no error path, phylink would resolve the
link for any of the advertised modes, so a mismatch would show up as a
silently dead port rather than a probe or configuration failure. Would it
make sense to either extend the binding enum or drop the extra
supported_interfaces bits so the two agree?

Both files are still in this state at the end of the series, so this does
not appear to be resolved by a later patch.
