Support for in-band signalling with Serdes links is uncertain. Some PHYs do not support in-band for e.g. SGMII. Some PCS do not support in-band for 2500Base-X. Some PCS require in-band for Base-X protocols. Simply using what is in DT is insufficient when we have hot-pluggable PHYs e.g. in the form of SFP modules, which may not provide the in-band signalling. In order to address this, we have introduced phy_inband_caps() and pcs_inband_caps() functions to allow phylink to retrieve the capabilities from each end of the PCS/PHY link. This commit adds code to resolve whether in-band will be used in the various scenarios that we have: In-band not being used, PHY present using SGMII or Base-X, PHY not present. We also deal with no capabilties provided.

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 reStructuredText 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.
