If we successfully parsed an interface mode with a legacy switch driver, populate that mode into phylink's supported interfaces rather than defaulting to the internal and gmii interfaces. This hasn't caused an issue so far, because when the interface doesn't match a supported one, phylink_validate() doesn't clear the supported mask, but instead returns -EINVAL. phylink_parse_fixedlink() doesn't check this return value, and merely relies on the supported ethtool link modes mask being cleared. Therefore, the fixed link settings end up being allowed despite validation failing. Before this causes a problem, arrange for DSA to more accurately populate phylink's supported interfaces mask so validation can correctly succeed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
