This adds device tree bindings for the IXP4xx ethernet
controller with optional MDIO bridge.

ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Designate phy nodes with ethernet-phy@
- Include phy-mode in the schema
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Add schema for the (optional) embedded MDIO bus inside
  the ethernet controller in an "mdio" node instead of just
  letting the code randomly populate and present it to
  the operating system.
- Reference the standard schemas for ethernet controller and
  MDIO buses.
- Add intel,npe to indentify the NPE unit used with each
  ethernet adapter.

Hi Linus

That optional MDIO bus sentence is important here. I think it would be
good to give examples for say IXP43x, where the MDIO bus is on NPE-C,
and the phy-handles point from one Ethernet device in the device tree
to the other. It is not unknown, but it is unusual, so giving an
example is good.

Also, looking at the unmodified driver, there is the global variable
mdio_bus. This should contain the one MDIO bus for the cluster. With
the C code, it should be impossible for multiple devices to
instantiate an MDIO bus. But with device tree, is that still true?
Should there be validation that only one device has an MDIO bus in its
device tree?

This would be more of a question to Rob.

I am "OK" at writing YAML but not great.

If I were to express that out of 3 nodes in the DT one and only
one *must* contain a certain subnode, but it doesn't matter
which one, I have no idea how to express that.

Since the abstract syntax in YAML is pretty much stateless
this beats me.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Hi Linus

Sorry. I was thinking C code. The driver already has the global
variable mdio_bus. It is initially a NULL pointer. It gets sent when
the first MDIO bus driver probes. If it is not NULL when an MDIO bus
driver probes, throw an error.
