boards/enclustra-sa2: add new board (HELP NEEDED)

[David Picard]

Hello,

I am now able to boot Linux, after I changed the devicetree files. Now, 
neither Barebox nor Linux can detect the Ethernet PHY.

I copied the devicetree files from Enclustra's BSP because e.g. they 
include skew parameters for the Ethernet PHY, that, if I understood 
well, depend on board routing.

To port the board to Barebox, I took the Terasic DE0, which has the same 
SoC FPGA and the same Ethernet PHY, the Microchip KSZ9031RNX. The MDIO 
bus address on the DE0 is 1, and 3 on the SA2.

@dok had me type some commands in the Barebox prompt such as devinfo, 
miitool, but it didn't solve the issue.

I notices differences in the devicetree files of the DE0 and the SA2. I 
tried to group them; see the links below.
