For Marvell mvpp2, we detect 10GBASE-KR, and rewrite it to 10GBASE-R
for compatibility with existing DT - this is the only network driver
at present that makes use of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR.

Hi Russell

Maybe consider adding a comment here, or suggest readers to read the
commit message of the patch that added these two lines to get the full
story.

It's a bit difficult to refer to the commit SHA in the commit itself,
but yes, that's a good idea. I'll send v2 shortly.

Thanks.
