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.

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.
