Thanks. This is also going to be needed for stmmac, which can operate in
SGMII mode acting as if it were a PHY to allow a SGMII MAC-to-MAC
connection to be established.

As noted by the kernel build bot, there are several other locations that
need to be updated whenever a new phy interface is added.

Thanks.
