The USGMII Standard by Cisco introduces the notion of extensions used
in the preamble. The standard proposes a "PCH" extension, which allows
passing timestamps in the preamble. However, other alternatives are
possible, like Microchip's "MCH" mode, that allows passing indication to
a PHY telling whether or not the PHY should timestamp an outgoing packet,
therefore removing the need for the PHY to have an internal classifier.
This commit allows reporting the various extensions a PHY supports,
without tying them to the actual PHY mode. This is done 1) because there
are multiple variants of the USGMII mode, like QUSGMII and OUSGMII, and
2) because other non-cisco standards might one day propose a similar
mechanism.

+Inband Extensions
+=================
+
+The USGMII Standard allows the possibility to re-use the full-length 7-bytes
+frame preamble to convey meaningful data. This is already partly used by modes
+like QSGMII, which passes the port number in the preamble.
+
+In USGMII, we have a standardized approach to allow the MAC and PHY to pass
+such data in the preamble, which looks like this :
+
+| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Frame data
+| SoP | | Extension | CRC |
+| / \_______________ | |
+| / \ | |
+| | type | subport | ext type | | |
+
+The preamble in that case uses the Packet Control Header (PCH) format, where
+the byte 1 is used as a control field with :
+
+type - 2 bits :
+ - 00 : Packet with PCH
+ - 01 : Packet without PCH
+ - 10 : Idle Packet, without data
+ - 11 : Reserved
+
+subport - 4 bits : The subport identifier. For QUSGMII, this field ranges from
+ 0 to 3, and for OUSGMII, it ranges from 0 to 7.
+
+ext type - 2 bits : Indicated the type of data conveyed in the extension
+ - 00 : Ignore extension
+ - 01 : 8 bits reserved + 32 timestamp
+ - 10 : Reserved
+ - 11 : Reserved
+
+It is possible for vendors to use the extensions mechanism without relying on
+the PCH formatting.
+
+In order to leverage such extensions, both the MAC and the PHY have to agree on
+which extension to use. The current model has the PHY expose the possible
+available extensions with ::
+
+ bool phy_inband_ext_available(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
+
+The PHY driver decides which extensions are available to use at any given time,
+as they can only be used if ::
+ - A compatible PHY mode is used, such as USXGMII or QUSGMII
+ - The PHY can use the required mode at that moment
+
+A PHY driver can register available modes with::
+
+ int phy_inband_ext_set_available(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
+ int phy_inband_ext_set_unavailable(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
+
+It's then up to the MAC driver to enable/disable the extension in the PHY as
+needed. This was designed to fit the timestamping configuration model, as it
+is the only mode supported so far.
+
+Enabling/Disabling an extension is done from the MAC driver through::
+
+ int phy_inband_ext_enable(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
+ int phy_inband_ext_disable(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
+
+These functions will cause the relevant callback to be called in the PHY driver::
+
+ int (*set_inband_ext)(struct phy_device *dev, enum phy_inband_ext ext, bool enable);
+
+The state of currently enabled extensions can be queried with::
+
+ bool phy_inband_ext_enabled(struct phy_device *phydev, enum phy_inband_ext ext);
