Re-implement the mdiobus module refcounting to ensure that we actually
ensure that the mdiobus module code does not go away while we might call
into it.
The old scheme using bus->dev.driver was buggy, because bus->dev is a
class device which never has a struct device_driver associated with it,
and hence the associated code trying to obtain a refcount did nothing
useful.
Instead, take the approach that other subsystems do: pass the module
when calling mdiobus_register(), and record that in the mii_bus struct.
When we need to increment the module use count in the phy code, use
this stored pointer. When the phy is deteched, drop the module
refcount, remembering that the phy device might go away at that point.
This doesn't stop the mii_bus going away while there are in-use phys -
it merely stops the underlying code vanishing.

The problem is that mdiobus_unregister() deletes the bus device before
unregistering the phy devices on the bus. This wasn't a problem before
because the phys were not children of the bus:
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0:03
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0
But now that they are:
/sys/devices/platform/APMC0D05:00/net/eth0/xgene-mii-eth0/xgene-mii-eth0:03
when mdiobus_unregister deletes the bus device, the phy subdirs are
removed from sysfs also. So when the phys are unregistered afterward,
we get the warning. This patch changes the order so that phys are
unregistered before the bus device is deleted.

What features a phy supports is masked in genphy_config_init() by
looking at the PHYs BMSR register.
If the link is down, fixed_phy_update_regs() will only set the auto-
negotiation capable bit in BMSR. Thus genphy_config_init() comes to
the conclusion the PHY can only perform 10/Half, and masks out the
higher speed features. If however the link it up, BMSR is set to
indicate the speed the PHY is capable of auto-negotiating, and
genphy_config_init() does not mask out the high speed features.
To fix this, when the link is down, have fixed_phy_update_regs() leave
the link status, auto-negotiation complete, and link partner
capabilities unset, but set all the local capabilities depending on
the fixed phy speed.

Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding
of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module,
switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc
implementations looking like this:
- using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link
indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware
- pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth
Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the
correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their
CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able
to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context
of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not
need to monitor this link since it should be always up.
