net: phylink: add rxc_always_on flag to phylink_pcs
Some MAC drivers (e.g. stmmac) require a continuous receive clock signal to
be generated by a PCS that is handled by a standalone PCS driver.
Such a PCS driver does not have access to a PHY device, thus cannot check
the PHY_F_RXC_ALWAYS_ON flag. They cannot check max_requires_rxc in the
phylink config either, since it is a private member. Therefore, a new flag
is needed to signal to the PCS that it should keep the RX clock signal up
at all times.
