Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] doc: sfp-phylink: mention the mac_capabilities and supported_interfaces

When porting a driver from bare phylib to phylink, one of the mandatory
steps is to fill-in the phylink_config.mac_capabilities and the
supported_interfaces. Add a dedicated step in the porting guide, with
some examples.
