net: phylink: propagate resolved link config via mac_link_up()

Browse Source 
Propagate the resolved link parameters via the mac_link_up() call for
MACs that do not automatically track their PCS state. We propagate the
link parameters via function arguments so that inappropriate members
of struct phylink_link_state can't be accessed, and creating a new
structure just for this adds needless complexity to the API.

methods such as 1000base-X and SGMII.
The :c:func:`mac_link_up` method is used to inform the MAC that the
link has come up. The call includes the negotiation mode and interface
for reference only. The finalised link parameters are also supplied
(speed, duplex and flow control/pause enablement settings) which
should be used to configure the MAC when the MAC and PCS are not
tightly integrated, or when the settings are not coming from in-band
negotiation.
The :c:func:`mac_config` method is used to update the MAC with the
requested state, and must avoid unnecessarily taking the link down
when making changes to the MAC configuration. This means the
