Hello everyone,

This is V18 of the phy_link_topology series, aiming at improving support
for multiple PHYs being attached to the same MAC.

V18 is a simple rebase of the V17 on top of net-next, gathering the
tested-by and reviewed-by tags from Christophe (thanks !).

This iteration is also one patch shorter than V17 (patch 12/14 in V17 is gone),
as one of the patches used to fix an issue that has now been resolved by
Simon Horman in 

743ff02152bc ethtool: Don't check for NULL info in prepare_data callbacks

As a remainder, here's what the PHY listings would look like :
 - eth0 has a 88x3310 acting as media converter, and an SFP module with
   an embedded 88e1111 PHY
 - eth2 has a 88e1510 PHY

# ethtool --show-phys *

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: mv88x3310
PHY device name: f212a600.mdio-mii:00
Downstream SFP bus name: sfp-eth0
Upstream type: MAC

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 2
Driver name: Marvell 88E1111
PHY device name: i2c:sfp-eth0:16
Upstream type: PHY
Upstream PHY index: 1
Upstream SFP name: sfp-eth0

PHY for eth2:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: Marvell 88E1510
PHY device name: f212a200.mdio-mii:00
Upstream type: MAC
