Fixed-link support is broken for the ucc_eth, gianfar, and fs_enet
device drivers. The "OF MDIO rework" patches removed most of the
support. Instead of re-adding fixed-link stuff to the drivers, this
patch adds a support function for parsing the fixed-link property
and obtaining a dummy phy to match.Note: the dummy phy handling in arch/powerpc is a bit of a hack and
needs to be reworked. This function is being added now to solve the
regression in the Ethernet drivers, but it should be considered a
temporary measure until the fixed link handling can be reworked.Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

Add support for parsing the device tree for PHY devices on an MDIO bus.
Currently many of the PowerPC ethernet drivers are open coding a solution
for reading data out of the device tree to find the correct PHY device.
This patch implements a set of common routines to:a) let MDIO bus drivers register phy_devices described in the tree, and
b) let MAC drivers find the correct phy_device via the tree.Signed-off-by: Grant Likely
