This adds support for rate adaptation to the phy subsystem. The general
idea is that the phy interface runs at one speed, and the MAC throttles
the rate at which it sends packets to the link speed. There's a good
overview of several techniques for achieving this at [1]. This patch
adds support for three: pause-frame based (such as in Aquantia phys),
CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and 2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such
as in 10GBASE-W).
This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate adaptation available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate adaptation. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate adaptation for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same form
of rate adaptation. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices will
support rate adaptation (even some do). Relaxing or strengthening these
(non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if all
interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate adaptation, then
a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate adaptation would suffice.
For some better visibility into the process, the current rate adaptation
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate adaptation can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.

Should the unimplemented adaptation modes be kept in?
Changes in v4:
- Export phy_rate_adaptation_to_str
Changes in v2:
- Use int/defines instead of enum to allow for use in ioctls/netlink
- Add locking to phy_get_rate_adaptation
- Add (read-only) ethtool support for rate adaptation
- Move part of commit message to cover letter, as it gives a good
overview of the whole series, and allows this patch to focus more on
the specifics.
