There are quite a lot of drivers touching a PHY device MII_BMCR
register to reset the PHY without taking care of:

1) ensuring that BMCR_RESET is cleared after a given timeout
2) the PHY state machine resuming to the proper state and re-applying
potentially changed settings such as auto-negotiation

Introduce phy_poll_reset() which will take care of polling the MII_BMCR
for the BMCR_RESET bit to be cleared after a given timeout or return a
timeout error code.

In order to make sure the PHY is in a correct state, phy_init_hw() first
issues a software reset through MII_BMCR and then applies any fixups.

<title>net: phy: remove flags argument from phy_{attach, connect, connect_direct}</title>

The flags argument of the phy_{attach,connect,connect_direct} functions
is then used to assign a struct phy_device dev_flags with its value.
All callers but the tg3 driver pass the flag 0, which results in the
underlying PHY drivers in drivers/net/phy/ not being able to actually
use any of the flags they would set in dev_flags. This patch gets rid of
the flags argument, and passes phydev-&gt;dev_flags to the internal PHY
library call phy_attach_direct() such that drivers which actually modify
a phy device dev_flags get the value preserved for use by the underlying
phy driver.

All MDIO bus drivers currently name bus with "%x" format.
There is one exception where mv643xx_eth driver is using "%d".
Phy address on the bus uses format "%02x".

Fixing phy name example to match all real life MDIO drivers.

Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY
requires special handling.  For instance, to change where the PHY's
clock input is, or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the
data path.  We add a mechanism for registering a callback with the PHY
Lib to be called on matching PHYs when they are brought up, or reset.

<title>[PATCH] PHY: Add support for configuring the PHY connection interface</title>

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII
interface.  However, a growing number are connected over
different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII.

The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it
is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect
(or phy_attach).

Changes include:
* Updates to documentation
* Updates to PHY Lib consumers
* Changes to PHY Lib to add interface support
* Some minor changes to whitespace in phy.h
* gianfar driver now detects interface and passes appropriate
  value to PHY Lib
