If we intend to use PCS operations, mac_pcs_get_state() will not be
implemented, so will be NULL. If we also intend to register the PCS
operations in mac_prepare() or mac_config(), then this leads to an
attempt to call NULL function pointer during phylink_start(). Avoid
this, but we must report the link is down.

There are no users of the new split PCS support currently, so this
does not require backporting, but if people think it should have a
fixes tag, that would be:
