Rename the mac_link_state() method to mac_pcs_get_state() to make it clear that it should be returning the MACs PCS current state, which is used for inband negotiation rather than just reading back what the MAC has been configured for. Update the documentation to explicitly mention that this is for inband. We drop the return value as well; most of phylink doesn't check the return value and it is not clear what it should do on error - instead arrange for state->link to be false.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
