Hi Russell,

Yes, for QCA8084(pure PHY chip), only PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10G_QXGMII will
be set to the phy->possible_interfaces when it works on the interface
mode PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10G_QXGMII.

I will push a new patch series to remove PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10G_QXGMII
from this work-around validation here.

Thanks,
Jie
