[PATCH RFC net-next 15/16] net: phylink: add negotiation of in-band capabilities

Support for in-band signalling with Serdes links is uncertain. Some
PHYs do not support in-band for e.g. SGMII. Some PCS do not support
in-band for 2500Base-X. Some PCS require in-band for Base-X protocols.
Simply using what is in DT is insufficient when we have hot-pluggable
PHYs e.g. in the form of SFP modules, which may not provide the
in-band signalling.
In order to address this, we have introduced phy_inband_caps() and
pcs_inband_caps() functions to allow phylink to retrieve the
capabilities from each end of the PCS/PHY link. This commit adds code
to resolve whether in-band will be used in the various scenarios that
we have: In-band not being used, PHY present using SGMII or Base-X,
PHY not present. We also deal with no capabilties provided.
