Introduce vendor-specific PHY tunable identifiers to control the
KSZ87xx low-loss cable erratum handling through the ethtool PHY
tunable interface.

The following tunables are added:

- a boolean "short-cable" tunable, applying a documented and
conservative preset intended for short or low-loss Ethernet cables;

- an integer LPF bandwidth tunable, allowing advanced adjustment of the
receiver low-pass filter bandwidth;

- an integer DSP EQ initial value tunable, allowing advanced tuning of
the PHY equalizer initialization.

The actual behavior is implemented by the corresponding PHY and switch
drivers.
