    net: phylink: make QSGMII a valid PHY mode for in-band AN · 3a68ba6f
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    QSGMII is a SerDes protocol clocked at 5 Gbaud (4 times higher than
    SGMII which is clocked at 1.25 Gbaud), with the same 8b/10b encoding and
    some extra symbols for synchronization. Logically it offers 4 SGMII
    interfaces multiplexed onto the same physical lanes. Each MAC PCS has
    its own in-band AN process with the system side of the QSGMII PHY, which
    is identical to the regular SGMII AN process.
    
    So allow QSGMII as a valid in-band AN mode, since it is no different
    from software perspective from regular SGMII.
