It looks to me like the phylink code in your patch series is based on
an older version of phylink and hasn't been updated for the split PCS
support - you seem to be munging the PCS parts in with the MAC
callbacks. If so, please update to the modern way of dealing with this.

If that isn't the case, please explain why you are not using the split
PCS support.
I need to be able to let the user set the speed to get the link up.

So far I have only been able to get the user configured speeds via the mac_ops, but if this is also
possible via the pcs_ops, there should not anything preventing me from using these ops instead.

Will the pcs_ops also support this?
I really don't understand what you're saying here, so I can't answer.

What exactly do you mean "user configured speeds" ? Please give
examples of exactly what you're wanting to do.
