d0281a56b0 net: phy: Allow building mdio-boardinfo into the kernel
mdio-boardinfo contains code that is helpful for platforms to register
specific MDIO bus devices independent of how CONFIG_MDIO_DEVICE or
CONFIG_PHYLIB will be selected (modular or built-in). In order to make
that possible, let's do the following:

- descend into drivers/net/phy/ unconditionally

- make mdiobus_setup_mdiodev_from_board_info() take a callback argument
  which allows us not to expose the internal MDIO board info list and
  mutex, yet maintain the logic within the same file

- relocate the code that creates a MDIO device into
  drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c

- build mdio-boardinfo.o into the kernel as soon as MDIO_DEVICE is
  defined (y or m)

90eff9096c net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs
Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building
the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet
PHY library and devices code.

PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are
updated to reflect that.

When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we
have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a
module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is
unclear.

When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble
everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty
circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which
are really tough to untangle.

648ea01340 net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices
Allow board support code to collect pre-declarations for MDIO devices by
registering them with mdiobus_register_board_info(). SPI and I2C buses
have a similar feature, we were missing this for MDIO devices, but this
is particularly useful for e.g: MDIO-connected switches which need to
provide their port layout (often board-specific) to a MDIO Ethernet
switch driver.
