Right. The last patch in the series is a cleanup patch which gets rid
from the duplicated code by moving it to the PHYLINK MAC-capability
getter.

I thought about that initially. But since this patch content is
connected with the rest of patches and the maintainers/reviewers may
ask to do things differently than it's provided in the initial
patches, I decided to submit the entire series as is but indicating
that the last patch is intended for 'net-next'.

Agreed. I'll repost 4/4 after the initial 3 patches get to be merged
in.
