    Create PHY Lib for U-Boot · 5f184715

    Extends the mii_dev structure to participate in a full-blown MDIO and
    PHY driver scheme.  The mii_dev structure and miiphy calls are modified
    in such a way to allow the original mii command and miiphy
    infrastructure to work as before, but also to support a new set of APIs
    which allow (among other things) sharing of PHY driver code and 10G support
    
    The mii command will continue to support normal PHY management functions
    (Clause 22 of 802.3), but will not be changed to support 10G
    (Clause 45).
    
    The basic design is similar to PHY Lib from Linux, but simplified for
    U-Boot's network and driver infrastructure.
    
    We now have MDIO drivers and PHY drivers
    
    An MDIO driver provides:
    read
    write
    reset
    
    A PHY driver provides:
    (optionally): probe
    config - initial setup, starting of auto-negotiation
    startup - waiting for AN, and reading link state
    shutdown - any cleanup needed
    
    The ethernet drivers interact with the PHY Lib using these functions:
    phy_connect()
    phy_config()
    phy_startup()
    phy_shutdown()
    
    Each PHY driver can be configured separately, or all at once using
    config_phylib_all_drivers.h (added in the patch which adds the drivers)
    
    We also provide generic drivers for Clause 22 (10/100/1000), and
    Clause 45 (10G) PHYs.
    
    We also implement phy_reset(), and call it in phy_connect(). Because
    phy_reset() is essentially the same as miiphy_reset, but:
    a) must support 10G PHYs, and
    b) should use the phylib primitives,
    
    we implement miiphy_reset, using phy_reset(), but only when
    CONFIG_PHYLIB is set. Otherwise, we just use the old version. In this
    way, we save on compile size, even if we don't manage to save code size.
    
    Pulled ethtool.h and mdio.h from:

    With many, many deletions so as to enable compilation under u-boot
