There's nothing trivial about this patch. 1000Base-KX is not a phy-mode
in exactly the same way that 1000Base-T isn't, either. If you want to
bring PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR as a "yes, but" counterexample, it was
later clarified that 10gbase-r was what was actually meant in that case,
and we keep 10gbase-kr as phy-mode only for compatibility with some
device trees.

I'd suggest resolving the merge conflict without 1000Base-KX and
splitting off a separate discussion about this topic. Otherwise it will
unnecessarily detract from PAUSE-based rate adaptation.
