So you can probably pull the 'core' of this function out into a
helper, and then call it either with YT8521_RSSR_UTP_SPACE or
YT8521_RSSR_FIBER_SPACE.

It is generally not that simple. Fibre, you probably want 1000BaseX,
unless the fibre module is actually copper, and then you want
SGMII. So you need something to talk to the fibre module and ask it
what it is. That something is phylink. Phylink does not support both
copper and fibre at the same time for one MAC.
