David Daney 0ca2997d14 netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.
This patch adds a somewhat generic framework for MDIO bus
multiplexers.  It is modeled on the I2C multiplexer.

The multiplexer is needed if there are multiple PHYs with the same
address connected to the same MDIO bus adepter, or if there is
insufficient electrical drive capability for all the connected PHY
devices.

Conceptually it could look something like this:

                   ------------------
                   | Control Signal |
                   --------+---------
                           |
 ---------------   --------+------
 | MDIO MASTER |---| Multiplexer |
 ---------------   --+-------+----

                     |       |

     |       |       |       |   |       |
     | PHY@1 +-------+       +---+ PHY@1 |
     |       |       |       |   |       |
     ---------       |       |   ---------
     ---------       |       |   ---------
     |       |       |       |   |       |
     | PHY@2 +-------+       +---+ PHY@2 |
     |       |                   |       |
     ---------                   ---------

This framework configures the bus topology from device tree data.  The
mechanics of switching the multiplexer is left to device specific
drivers.

The follow-on patch contains a multiplexer driven by GPIO lines.

Common MDIO bus multiplexer/switch properties.
An MDIO bus multiplexer/switch will have several child busses that are
numbered uniquely in a device dependent manner. The nodes for an MDIO
bus multiplexer/switch will have one child node for each child bus.
Required properties:
- mdio-parent-bus : phandle to the parent MDIO bus.
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
Optional properties:
- Other properties specific to the multiplexer/switch hardware.
Required properties for child nodes:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- reg : The sub-bus number.
Example :
/* The parent MDIO bus. */
