mac->mac_pcs is there for the _internal_ MAC only, not for platforms
to fiddle around with (remember, my patch set adds this!)

I think you're thinking of mac->phylink_pcs which platforms can and
do fiddle with.

Therefore, I suggest that if state->interface is RGMII, then these
registers should not be accessed.

My idea is to provide two PCS per MAC:

One simple one which covers RGMII which only reads the PHYIF/RGSMIIIS
register, does no configuration, but does implement the .pcs_enable/
.pcs_disable etc. The .pcs_validate method should also be empty for
this because the AutoNeg ethtool capability does not refer to the
inband signalling, but to the media PHY.

Then a more complex PCS implementation that does everything the RGMII
one does, but also the bits for SGMII (and TBI/RTBI).

Yes, it sounds like it.

Not necessarily - some good news today, the high priority issue I was
working on is lower priority at last, which means I've more time to
look at mainline again. Bad news... I need a break after about 2.5
months of frustrations, which could be from this weekend!

Given the fix for the LNKMOD issue, I suspect that won't be merged
into net-next until after the weekend, but I'll see whether I can
sneak a respin of the patch set once that's happened. That said,
given that we'll be at -rc7, it's likely too late to be thinking
about getting the PCS changes queued up for this coming merge
window. In any case, I don't think even if I did post a series, we're
at the point where we have something that would be ready.
