[net-next RFC PATCH v5 03/10] net: phylink: add phylink_release_pcs() to externally release a PCS

[Christian Marangi]

Add phylink_release_pcs() to externally release a PCS from a phylink
instance. This can be used to handle case when a single PCS needs to be
removed and the phylink instance needs to be refreshed.

On calling phylink_release_pcs(), the PCS will be removed from the
phylink internal PCS list and the phylink supported_interfaces value is
reparsed with the remaining PCS interfaces.

Also a phylink resolve is triggered to handle the PCS removal.

The flag force_major_config is set to make phylink resolve reconfigure
the interface (even if it didn't change) is also added.
This is needed to handle the special case when the current PCS used
by phylink is removed and a major_config is needed to propagae the
configuration change. With this option enabled we also force mac_config
even if the PHY link is not up for the in-band case.
