Add support for backplane kr phy connection types currently available
(10gbase-kr, 40gbase-kr4) and the required phylink updates (cover all
the cases for KR modes which are clause 45 compatible to correctly assign
phy_interface and phylink#supported)

We might have a backwards compatibility issue here. If i remember
correctly, there are some boards out in the wild using
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR not PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER.

See e0f909bc3a242296da9ccff78277f26d4883a79d

Russell, what do you say about this?
Yes, and that's a point that I made when I introduced 10GBASER to
correct that mistake.  It is way too soon to change this; it will
definitely cause regressions:

$ grep 10gbase-kr arch/*/boot/dts -r
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9131-db.dts:      phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dts:      phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dts:      phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-7040-db.dts:    phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dts:   phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dts:   phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-clearfog-gt-8k.dts:     phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-db.dts: phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9132-db.dts:      phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/cn9130-db.dts:      phy-mode = "10gbase-kr";

So any change to the existing PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GKR will likely
break all these platforms.
