[PATCH v2] net: fec: fix MDIO bus assignement for dual fec SoC's

On i.MX28, the MDIO bus is shared between the two FEC instances.
The driver makes sure that the second FEC uses the MDIO bus of the
first FEC. This is done conditionally if FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC is set.
However, in newer designs, such as Vybrid or i.MX6SX, each FEC MAC
has its own MDIO bus. Simply removing the quirk FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC
is not an option since other logic, triggered by this quirk, is
still needed.
Furthermore, there are board designs which use the same MDIO bus
for both PHY's even though the second bus would be available on the
SoC side. Such layout are popular since it saves pins on SoC side.
Due to the above quirk, those boards currently do work fine. The
boards in the mainline tree with such a layout are:
- Freescale Vybrid Tower with TWR-SER2 (vf610-twr.dts)
- Freescale i.MX6 SoloX SDB Board (imx6sx-sdb.dts)
This patch adds a new quirk FEC_QUIRK_SINGLE_MDIO for i.MX28, which
makes sure that the MDIO bus of the first FEC is used in any case.
However, the boards above do have a SoC with a MDIO bus for each FEC
instance. But the PHY's are not connected in a 1:1 configuration. A
proper device tree description is needed to allow the driver to
figure out where to find its PHY. This patch fixes that shortcoming
by adding a MDIO bus child node to the first FEC instance, along
with the two PHY's on that bus, and making use of the phy-handle
property to add a reference to the PHY's.

Yes, this breaks existing device trees, but it does this because
those device trees were lacking proper description of the HW...
IMHO, in this case, this is acceptable. We also do this in other
cases, e.g. in the gic_arch_extn killing patchset:
http://archive.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20150107.174235.3fc3a92f.en.html
Also, the two boards we are breaking are not very widespread:
The Vybrid Tower is generally not very widespread and there is only
the TWR-VF65GS10-PRO variant with TWR-SER2 affected. And the SoloX
SDB board is not even generally available yet...
If we don't want to break the board, we could add the
FEC_QUIRK_SINGLE_MDIO to Vybrid or/and i.MX6SX too. But then, we
need to make the quirk conditional: If a MDIO node or phy-
handle is specified, we should rely on the device tree information.
However, this solution adds new code and complexity. Using the
quirk for those SoC's just feels wrong. So I strongly advocate
for the breaking variant.
Changes since v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/6/284):
- Add MDIO/phy-handle device tree nodes for dual FEC boards
