Maybe linux/phy.h should provide a helper, something like:

	phy_interface_serdes_lanes()

that returns how many serdes lanes the interface mode uses?

I don't think that the ethernet MAC driver should be changing the
interface mode before passing it down to the generic PHY layer -
phy_set_mode_ext() is defined to take the phy interface mode, and any
aliasing of modes should really be up to the generic PHY driver not
the ethernet MAC driver.

Thanks.
