Intel mGbE supports 2.5Gbps link speed by overclocking the clock rate
by 2.5 times to support 2.5Gbps link speed. In this mode, the serdes/PHY
operates at a serial baud rate of 3.125 Gbps and the PCS data path and
GMII interface of the MAC operate at 312.5 MHz instead of 125 MHz.
This is configured in the BIOS during boot up. The kernel driver is not able
access to modify the clock rate for 1Gbps/2.5G mode on the fly. The way to
determine the current 1G/2.5G mode is by reading a dedicated adhoc
register through mdio bus.

How does this interact with Vladimir's "Convert xpcs to phylink_pcs_ops"
series? Is there an inter-dependency between these, or a preferred order
that they should be applied?

Thanks.
