Merge branch 'phy-supported-interfaces-bitmap'



Russell King says:

====================
Introduce supported interfaces bitmap

This series introduces a new bitmap to allow us to indicate which
phy_interface_t modes are supported.

Currently, phylink will call ->validate with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA to
request all link mode capabilities from the MAC driver before choosing
an interface to use. This leads in some cases to some rather hairly
code. This can be simplified if phylink is aware of the interface modes
that  the MAC supports, and it can instead walk those modes, calling
->validate for each one, and combining the results.

This series merely introduces the support; there is no change of
behaviour until MAC drivers populate their supported_interfaces bitmap.
