Andy Fleming f62220d3a9 phylib: Add support for board-level PHY fixups
Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY
requires special handling.  For instance, to change where the PHY's
clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the
data path.  We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY
Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

Andy Fleming e8a2b6a420 [PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interface
Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII
interface.  However, a growing number are connected over
different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII.

The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it
is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect
(or phy_attach).

Changes include:
* Updates to documentation
* Updates to PHY Lib consumers
* Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support
* Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h
* gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate
  value to PHY Lib

Andy Fleming 00db8189d9 This patch adds a PHY Abstraction Layer to the Linux Kernel, enabling
ethernet drivers to remain as ignorant as is reasonable of the connected
PHY's design and operation details.
