net: macb: 1000BASE-X on internal PCS

This series adds support for 1000BASE-X autonegotiation to the Cadence macb
driver when using the MAC-internal PCS. The existing driver code is oriented
toward the PCS being used with an on-board SGMII PHY, so uses Cisco
SGMII-style autonegotiation exclusively and does not anticipate e.g. link
state changes arising from fiber attach/detach events since the SGMII endpoint
is permanently attached in such cases. The first patch changes the driver
to monitor the PCS's link by polling, following the approach used currently
by this driver for fixed links when the PCS is enabled since the driver
does not currently monitor PCS link state otherwise and this had not come up
with permanently-attached SGMII PHYs that report link state out of band.
The second extends the existing SGMII autonegotiation code to also support
1000BASE-X autonegotiation.

Tested on Microchip PolarFire SoC with a variety of SFPs (copper, fiber, GPON)
attached to the I/O Bank-5 PCS lines.

Thanks to Charles Perry, Andrew Lunn, Paolo Abeni, Théo Lebrun, and
Jakub Kicinski for helpful suggestions and discussion on this patch series.
As a brief summary of that discussion, there are a few areas near this patch
that are existing non-idealities in the macb driver, in particular that it uses
polling to monitor link-state with the internal PCS and the driver does not
currently have support for using the link-state change interrupt. The
intention is to address this in a later patch that would remove polling from
both this case and the fixed-link one. Other discussion in earlier rounds
of the patches was related to handling some ZynqMP-specific code that is
related to specific SGMII-only hardware that is not relevant in the 1000BASE-X
case.
