[PATCH net-next v2] net: pcs: lynx: add support for 25GBASE-R

From: Vincent Jardin via B4 Relay

From: Vincent Jardin <vjardin@xxxxxxx>

The Lynx PCS never supported 25GBASE-R. Add it, so that a 25G DPMAC on
LX2160A can be driven by phylink.

The SerDes side had the mode since the commit
1cab8fba5073 ("phy: lynx-28g: add support for 25GBASER")
and dpaa2-mac maps DPMAC_ETH_IF_CAUI to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_25GBASER,
but the PCS never handled it, so phylink_validate() failed with the
interface.

25GBASE-R is a serial mode without clause-37 in-band autonegotiation,
exactly like 10GBASE-R: it does not needs any configuration, its state
is read with phylink_mii_c45_pcs_get_state(), and it reports
LINK_INBAND_DISABLE.

phylink_mii_c45_pcs_get_state() is extended in the same patch because
without it the link comes up reporting Unknown/Unknown.

Repost of the RFC now that net-next has reopened, rebased on net-next.

Changes in v2:
- Reword: this adds 25GBASE-R support, it does not fix a regression
(Ioana Ciornei)
- Squash in the phylink_mii_c45_pcs_get_state() 25GBASER case, without
which the link comes up as Unknown/Unknown (Ioana Ciornei)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260825-for-upstream-lynx-25gbaser-v1-v1-1-fd71c8047798@xxxxxxx
