DSA calls get_phy_flags() for user ports, but passes zero when connecting CPU or DSA port PHYs. Pass the callback result before PHY initialization for shared ports too. Drivers without the callback still pass zero. Keep bcm_sf2 and ksz88xx shared-port flags at zero, preserving their existing behavior. Document the extended callback scope. This lets qca8k pass revision information and a SmartSpeed quirk to an internal PHY used as a CPU link. The remaining patches supply that user.
