[PATCH RFC] ixp4xx_eth: Allow setting the MDIO bus name in platform data

Allows using e.g., a fixed MDIO bus with the ixp4xx_eth driver.
Example:

  static struct eth_plat_info board_plat_eth_internal[] = {
	{
		.mdio_bus_id	= "fixed-0",
		.phy		= 31,
		.rxq		= 4,
		.txreadyq	= 21,
		.hwaddr		= {0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},
	}
  };

  static struct platform_device board_eth_internal = {
	.name			= "ixp4xx_eth",
	.id			= IXP4XX_ETH_NPEC,
	.dev.platform_data	= board_plat_eth_internal,
  };

I'm unsure if this is the correct way of doing it for the legacy ixp4xx
platform. It seems most boards which use the fixed PHYs are DT-based			
PPC ones.
