[PATCH 1/3] net: phy: prevent linking breakage

phy_register_fixup{,_for_uid,_for_id} are called from arch/, quite
often, there is no protection to check whether CONFIG_PHYLIB=y which is
the only case where this would work. Having phylib as a module or not
compiled at all will result in that kind of linking failure:

arch/arm/mach-at91/built-in.o: In function `ksz9021rn_phy_fixup':
:(.text+0x1174): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'
:(.text+0x1188): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'
:(.text+0x119c): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'
:(.text+0x11b0): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'
arch/arm/mach-at91/built-in.o: In function `sama5_dt_device_init':
:(.init.text+0x1e34): undefined reference to `phy_register_fixup_for_uid'
