[RFC PATCHv2 3/4] of: provide a binding for fixed link PHYs

Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
binding allows to describe a "fixed link" using a special PHY node.

This patch adds:

 * A documentation for the fixed PHY Device Tree binding.

 * An of_phy_is_fixed_link() function that an Ethernet driver can call
   on its PHY phandle to find out whether it's a fixed link PHY or
   not. It should typically be used to know if
   of_phy_register_fixed_link() should be called.

 * An of_phy_register_fixed_link() function that instantiates the
   fixed PHY into the PHY subsystem, so that when the driver calls
   of_phy_connect(), the PHY device associated to the OF node will be
   found.

+Fixed link Device Tree binding
+------------------------------
+
+Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
+normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
+binding allows to describe a "fixed link".
+
+Such a fixed link situation is described by creating a PHY node as a
+sub-node of an Ethernet device, with the following properties:
+
+* 'fixed-link' (boolean, mandatory), to indicate that this PHY is a
+  fixed link PHY.
+* 'speed' (integer, mandatory), to indicate the link speed. Accepted
+  values are 10, 100 and 1000
+* 'full-duplex' (boolean, optional), to indicate that full duplex is
+  used. When absent, half duplex is assumed.
+* 'pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that pause should be
+  enabled.
+* 'asym-pause' (boolean, optional), to indicate that asym_pause should
+  be enabled.
+
+Example:
+
+ethernet at 0 {
+	...
+	phy = <&phy0>;
+	phy0: phy at 0 {
+	      fixed-link;
+	      speed = <1000>;
+	      full-duplex;
+	};
+	...
+};
+
