Anything which phylib can do, phylink should also be able to do.
And phylink should make it easier to support SGMII. If you are using the in-band signalling, you need to get that information out of the MAC. And when you add support for 2.5G, you need to dynamically reconfigure your SGMII link, depending on what speed the PHY decides to do. phylink will help with that.
But you can start with phylib and convert later, if you want.
