It's common practice to store MAC addresses for network interfaces into
nvmem devices. However the code to actually do this in the kernel lacks,
so this patch adds of_get_nvmem_mac_address() for drivers to obtain the
address from an nvmem cell provider.
This is particulary useful on devices where the ethernet interface cannot
be configured by the bootloader, for example because it's in an FPGA.

of_get_mac_address() basically does the same thing thrice, every time with a
different property name, so it makes sense to factor out the repetitive code
into separate function. While at it, we can start using ETH_ALEN instead of the
bare number and drop unnecessary parens around the property length check.
The resulting ARM object file is 100 bytes less in size than before the patch.

of_get_phy_mode() uses a local array to map phy_interface_t values from
include/linux/net/phy.h to a string which is read from the 'phy-mode' or
'phy-connection-type' property. In preparation for exposing the PHY
interface mode through sysfs, perform the following:
- mode phy_modes from drivers/of/of_net.c to include/linux/phy.h such
that it is right below the phy_interface_t enum
- make it a static inline function returning the string such that we can
use it by just including include/linux/net/phy.h
- add a PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_MAX enum value to guard the iteration in
of_get_phy_mode()

Per the ePAPR v1.1 specification, 'phy-connection-type' is the canonical
property name for describing an Ethernet to PHY connection type. Make
sure that of_get_phy_mode() also attempts to parse that property and
update the comments mentioning 'phy-mode' to also include
'phy-connection-type'.

The patch extends 'enum phy_interface_t' and of_get_phy_mode a little
bit with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SMII added,
and then converts ibm_newemac net driver to use of_get_phy_mode
getting phy mode from device tree.
It also resolves the namespace conflict on phy_read/write between
common mdiobus interface and ibm_newemac private one.
