This changeset proposes a new control for PHY tunable to control Energy
Detect Power Down.

The `phy_tunable_id` has been named `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD` since it looks like
this feature is common across other PHYs (like EEE), and defining
`ETHTOOL_PHY_ENERGY_DETECT_POWER_DOWN` seems too long.
    
The way EDPD works, is that the RX block is put to a lower power mode,
except for link-pulse detection circuits. The TX block is also put to low
power mode, but the PHY wakes-up periodically to send link pulses, to avoid
lock-ups in case the other side is also in EDPD mode.
    
Currently, there are 2 PHY drivers that look like they could use this new
PHY tunable feature: the `adin` && `micrel` PHYs.

This series updates only the `adin` PHY driver to support this new feature,
as this chip has been tested. A change for `micrel` can be proposed after a
discussion of the PHY-tunable API is resolved.

Changelog v4 -> v5:
* add Andrew's & Florian's Reviewed-by tags for patch 1
* fixed patch 2 goof:
  `rc = adin_set_edpd(phydev, 1);`
    ->
  `rc = adin_set_edpd(phydev, ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_MSECS);` 
  this was omitted when re-spin to v4 was done
* for patch 2 added Florian's Reviewed-by tag as this was suggested by him
  and his accord was
  `with that fixed: Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>`

Changelog v3 -> v4:
* impose the TX interval unit for EDPD to be milliseconds; the point was
  raised by Michal; this should allow for intervals:
   - as small as 1 millisecond, which does not sound like a power-saver
   - as large as 65 seconds, which sounds like a lot to wait for a link to
     come up

Changelog v2 -> v3:
* implement Andrew's review comments:
  1. for patch `ethtool: implement Energy Detect Powerdown support via
     phy-tunable`
     - ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_INTERVAL == 0xffff
     - ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_NO_TX            == 0xfffe
     - added comment in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
  2. for patch `net: phy: adin: implement Energy Detect Powerdown mode via
     phy-tunable`
     - added comments about interval & units for the ADIN PHY
     - in `adin_set_edpd()`: add a switch statement of all the valid values
     - in `adin_get_edpd()`: return `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_INTERVAL`
       since the PHY only supports a single TX-interval value (1 second)

Changelog v1 -> v2:
* initial series was made up of 2 sub-series: 1 for kernel & 1 for ethtool
  in userspace; v2 contains only the kernel series

2.20.1
