I'm hoping the ethqos folk are going to test this patch series and tell
me whether it works for them - specifically Sneh Shah who added

	net: stmmac: dwmac-qcom-ethqos: Add support for 2.5G SGMII

which directly configures the PCS bypassing phylink. Specifically,
if this in stmmac_check_pcs_mode():

	priv->dma_cap.pcs && interface == PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII

is true for this device, then we may be in for problems. Since
priv->dma_cap.pcs comes from hardware, it's impossible to tell
unless one has that hardware.
