Add a boolean to phylink_config to indicate whether a driver has not
been updated for the changes in commit 7cceb599d1 ("net: phylink:
avoid mac_config calls"), and thus are reliant on the old behaviour.
We were currently keying the phylink behaviour on the presence of a
PCS, but this is sub-optimal for modern drivers that may not have a
PCS.
This commit merely introduces the new flag, but does not add any use,
since we need all legacy drivers to set this flag before it can be
used. Once these legacy drivers have been updated, we can remove this
flag.

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.
