PHYLIB and PHYLINK handle fixed-link interfaces differently. PHYLIB
wraps them in a software PHY ("pseudo fixed link") phydev construct such
that .adjust_link driver callbacks see an unified API. Whereas PHYLINK
simply creates a phylink_link_state structure and passes it to
.mac_config.
At the time the driver was introduced, DSA was using PHYLIB for the
CPU/cascade ports (the ones with no net devices) and PHYLINK for
everything else.
As explained below:

net: dsa: Plug in PHYLINK support
Drivers that utilize fixed links for user-facing ports (e.g: bcm_sf2)
will need to implement phylink_mac_ops from now on to preserve
functionality, since PHYLINK *does not* create a phy_device instance
for fixed links.
In the above patch, DSA guards the .phylink_mac_config callback against
a NULL phydev pointer. Therefore, .adjust_link is not called in case of
a fixed-link user port.
This patch fixes the situation by converting the driver from using
.adjust_link to .phylink_mac_config. This can be done now in a unified
fashion for both slave and CPU/cascade ports because DSA now uses
PHYLINK for all ports.

Add support for PHYLINK within the DSA subsystem in order to support more
complex devices such as pluggable (SFP) and non-pluggable (SFF) modules, 10G
PHYs, and traditional PHYs. Using PHYLINK allows us to drop some amount of
complexity we had while probing fixed and non-fixed PHYs using Device Tree.
Because PHYLINK separates the Ethernet MAC/port configuration into different
stages, we let switch drivers implement those, and for now, we maintain
functionality by calling dsa_slave_adjust_link() during
phylink_mac_link_{up,down} which provides semantically equivalent steps.
Drivers willing to take advantage of PHYLINK should implement the phylink_mac_*
operations that DSA wraps.
We cannot quite remove the adjust_link() callback just yet, because a number of
drivers rely on that for configuring their "CPU" and "DSA" ports, this is done
dsa_port_setup_phy_of() and dsa_port_fixed_link_register_of() still.
Drivers that utilize fixed links for user-facing ports (e.g: bcm_sf2) will need
to implement phylink_mac_ops from now on to preserve functionality, since PHYLINK
*does not* create a phy_device instance for fixed links.
