[PATCH 09/10] beautify PHY driver names

I changed them because (before my patches) the driver list in
"devinfo" looked ugly, with my drvinfo command that one looked ugly.
Those driver names sticked out like a sore thumb.

Now, if I do "diff linux/driver/net/phy/micrel.c
barebox/driver/net/phy/micrel.c", I can see that those files are a bit
similar ... but only a bit. Diff spits out 569 lines of diff output.
And as micrel.c is only 281 lines long, this means that almost no
identical lines are in those two files anyway ...    so, the drivers
are following the Linux model, but they are not Linux drivers anyway.

As this is purely cosmetical, I won't fight over it. Or at least not more :-)
