The SGMII core found in several MediaTek SoCs is identical to what can also be found in MediaTek's MT7531 Ethernet switch IC. As this has not always been clear, both drivers developed different implementations to deal with the PCS. Recently Alexander Couzens pointed out this fact which lead to the development of this shared driver. Add a dedicated driver, mostly by copying the code now found in the Ethernet driver. The now redundant code will be removed by a follow-up commit.

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.
