There shouldn't be any need to make this conditional.

Please call this "phylink_mac_prepare" and pass the parameters that
phylink passes you to this function, so we don't end up at a later
date with people needing to extend this function to do other stuff,
thus repeating mistakes from earlier.

This is what has led to some very yucky code in all those
"fix_mac_speed" implementations, with duplicated data in the BSPs
to get the PHY mode and store it separately, etc.
