With the addition of the supported_interfaces bitmap, there's no point
if all the validation function is doing is checking the interfaces.

The supported_interfaces bitmap takes over that in core phylink code
(and if a MAC supplies a PCS for an interface that is in the MAC's
supported_interfaces bitmap but does not have the interface bit set in
the PCS's supported_interfaces, phylink will produce a kernel message
at error severity before .pcs_validate is called.

At a point in the near future, I will be making the PCS
supported_interfaces mandatory - but in the mean time this patch set
makes it optional.
