Hi Roopa
I argued this is a PHY layer status information. We don't really want
to have to modify every MAC driver to call into phylib/phylink. Yes,
we can have a netdev_ops for those drivers which ignore the Linux PHY
layer, but ideally we want to transparently call into the PHY layer to
get this information, if the MAC is not doing odd things.
