[PATCH RFC net-next 1/7] net: stmmac: add BASE-X support to integrated PCS

The integrated PCS supports 802.3z (BASE-X) modes when the Synopsys
IP is coupled with an appropriate SerDes to provide the electrical
interface. The PCS presents a TBI interface to the SerDes for this.
Thus, the BASE-X related registers are only present when TBI mode is
supported.

dwmac-qcom-ethqos added support for using 2.5G with the integrated PCS
by calling dwmac_ctrl_ane() directly.

Add support for the following to the integrated PCS:
- 1000BASE-X protocol unconditionally.
- 2500BASE-X if the coupled SerDes supports 2.5G speed.
- The above without autonegotiation.
- If the PCS supports TBI, then optional BASE-X autonegotiation for each
  of the above.
