any copper Ethernet PHY have support for performing diagnostics of

Add infrastructure in ethtool and phylib support for triggering a
cable test and reporting the results. The Marvell 1G PHY driver is
then extended to make use of this infrastructure.

For testing, a modified ethtool(1) can be found here:
https://github.com/lunn/ethtool.git feature/cable-test-v4. This also
contains extra code for TDR dump, which will be added to the kernel in
a later patch series.

Thanks to Chris Healy for extensive testing.

👍👍 

Applied, I'll push out once builds are done (probably an hour).

Thank you!
