net: dpaa2: replace dpaa2_mac_is_type_fixed() with dpaa2_mac_is_type_phy()
dpaa2_mac_is_type_fixed() is a header with no implementation and no callers, which is referenced from the documentation though. It can be deleted. On the other hand, it would be useful to reuse the code between dpaa2_eth_is_type_phy() and dpaa2_switch_port_is_type_phy(). That common code should be called dpaa2_mac_is_type_phy(), so let's create that. The removal and the addition are merged into the same patch because, in fact, is_type_phy() is the logical opposite of is_type_fixed().

+A phylink integration is necessary only when the partner DPMAC is not of
+``TYPE_FIXED``. This means it is either of ``TYPE_PHY``, or of
+``TYPE_BACKPLANE`` (the difference being the two that in the ``TYPE_BACKPLANE``
+mode, the MC firmware does not access the PCS registers). One can check for
+this condition using the following helper::
- - bool dpaa2_mac_is_type_fixed(struct fsl_mc_device *dpmac_dev,struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io);
+ - static inline bool dpaa2_mac_is_type_phy(struct dpaa2_mac *mac);
Before connection to a MAC, the caller must allocate and populate the
dpaa2_mac structure with the associated net_device, a pointer to the MC portal
