Andrew Lunn mentioned that the Serdes PCS found in Marvell DSA switches
does not automatically update the switch MACs with the link parameters.
Currently, the DSA code implements a work-around for this.
This series improves the Serdes integration, making use of the recent
phylink changes to support split MAC/PCS setups. One noticable
improvement for userspace is that ethtool can now report the link
partner's advertisement.
This repost has no changes compared to the previous posting; however,
the regression Andrew had found which exists even without this patch
set has now been fixed by Andrew and merged into the net-next tree.
