Actually looking deeper in the TRM, having these registers "just" written
to from the dwmac-glue-layer feels quite a bit like a hack.

The "pcs" thingy referenced in patch2 actually looks more like a real device
with its own section in the TRM and own iomem area. This pcs device then
itself has some more settings stored in said pipe-grf.

So this looks more like it wants to be an actual phy-driver.


@Chukun Pan: plase take a look at something like
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/phy/mscc/phy-ocelot-serdes.c#L398
on how phy-drivers for ethernets could look like.

Aquiring such a phy from the dwmac-glue and calling phy_set_mode after
moving the xpcs_setup to a phy-driver shouldn't be too hard I think.


The qsgmii/sgmii_pcs list of registers in the TRM alone already takes up
4 A4 pages, so while using the PCS as syscon and just writing some values
into it might work now, this doesn't feel at all like a future-save handling.
