net: phy: micrel: Add KSZ8041FTL fiber mode support
We can't detect the FXEN (fiber mode) bootstrap pin, so configure it via a boolean device tree property "micrel,fiber-mode". If it is enabled, auto-negotiation is not supported. The only available modes are 100base-fx (full duplex and half duplex). Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel <p.zabel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
