    Calling a function pointer with a single implementation through
    struct mdio_xpcs_ops is clunky, and the stmmac_do_callback system forces
    this to return int, even though it always returns zero.
    
    Simply remove the "validate" function pointer from struct mdio_xpcs_ops
    and replace it with an exported xpcs_validate symbol which is called
    directly by stmmac.
    
    priv->hw->xpcs is of the type "const struct mdio_xpcs_ops *" and is used
    as a placeholder/synonym for priv->plat->mdio_bus_data->has_xpcs. It is
    done that way because the mdio_bus_data pointer might or might not be
    populated in all stmmac instantiations.
