The 802.3bz specification, based on previous by the NBASET alliance, defines the 2.5GBaseT and 5GBaseT link modes for ethernet traffic on cat5e, cat6 and cat7 cables. These mode integrate with the already defined C45 MDIO PMA/PMD registers set that added 10G support, by defining some previously reserved bits, and adding a new register (2.5G/5G Extended abilities). This commit adds the required definitions in include/uapi/linux/mdio.h to support these modes, and detect when a link-partner advertises them. It also adds support for these mode in the generic C45 PHY infrastructure.

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.
