10 phylink is a mechanism to support hot-pluggable networking modules
11 directly connected to a MAC without needing to re-initialise the
12 adapter on hot-plug events.
14 phylink supports conventional phylib-based setups, fixed link setups
25 In PHY mode, we use phylib to read the current link settings from
28 negotiation being enabled on the link.

32 Fixed mode is the same as PHY mode as far as the MAC driver is
