Russell King (Oracle) a21202743f net: phylink: disable autoneg for interfaces that have no inband
Mathew reports that as a result of commit 6561f0e547 ("net: pcs:
pcs-lynx: implement pcs_inband_caps() method"), 10G SFP modules no
longer work with the Lynx PCS.

This problem is not specific to the Lynx PCS, but is caused by commit
df874f9e52 ("net: phylink: add pcs_inband_caps() method") which added
validation of the autoneg state to the optical SFP configuration path.

Fix this by handling interface modes that fundamentally have no
inband negotiation more correctly - if we only have a single interface
mode, clear the Autoneg support bit and the advertising mask. If the
module can operate with several different interface modes, autoneg may
be supported for other modes, so leave the support mask alone and just
clear the Autoneg bit in the advertising mask.

This restores 10G optical module functionality with PCS that supply
their inband support, and makes ethtool output look sane.

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.
