You're asking me to comment about something I know little about as
I've not used mvpp2.c. I don't know the details of what your "already
supported" statement refers to. Maybe you could give some clues -
maybe produce a list of what mvpp2 currently supports?
Here's the link modes that phylink supports:
1. PHY based links
2. PHYless fixed links with details specified in DT, in the same way as
the existing "fixed-link" support works, but without needing to create
fake PHYs.
3. PHYless fixed links with GPIO link indication (again, same way as the
existing fixed-link support.)
4. Direct fibre connections via fixed-link or SFP.
