Julius Bairaktaris 2de0893dd2 generic: backport the phylink PSGMII in-band classification
phylink_get_inband_type() omits PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_PSGMII, so
phylink_pcs_neg_mode() returns early with PHYLINK_PCS_NEG_NONE for a
PSGMII port, and the in-band capabilities a PCS advertises are never
consulted: qca-uniphy answers pcs_inband_caps() with
LINK_INBAND_DISABLE | LINK_INBAND_ENABLE for every interface it drives,
PSGMII included.

Backport upstream commit 5ba017f9efef ("net: phylink: treat PSGMII as an
inband capable interface"), which classifies PSGMII as INBAND_CISCO_SGMII
beside SGMII and QSGMII and extends the generic clause 22 PCS helpers to
match, to both kernel copies the tree carries.

No board in the tree declares managed = "in-band-status" on a PSGMII
port, so every PSGMII port moves from PHYLINK_PCS_NEG_NONE to
PHYLINK_PCS_NEG_OUTBAND, PHY-managed and fixed links alike. A PCS
driver can distinguish the two with phylink_expects_phy() and force
its channel only on a fixed link.

The 6.12 copy adapts the phylink_mii_c22_pcs_decode_state() hunk, whose
SGMII case carries no neg_mode guard on that kernel.

Exercised on a Xiaomi AX3600 (IPQ8074, kernel 6.18), whose four ports are
PSGMII channels of one UNIPHY. With two of them declared as fixed links,
the channel force bit the qca-uniphy PCS drives reads 0 without this
patch and 1 with it, the channel speed field following the declared
speed, while the two channels still behind a PHY are untouched either
way. On the unmodified device tree nothing changes: every port links as
before and every channel register reads the value it held.
