[PATCH RFC net-next v2 09/17] net: stmmac: Introduce mac_device_info::priv pointer

There is going to be introduced an PCS-specific CSR space pointer defined
in the stmmac_priv structure nearby the mmcaddr, estaddr and ptpaddr
fields. In order to have that pointer accessible from the PCS-specific
callback, let's introduce pointer to stmmac_priv defined in the
mac_device_info structure.

Note the better approach would be to convert the mac_device_info instance
to being embedded into the stmmac_priv structure. It would have solved
many driver problems like non-unified HW abstraction interface, duplicated
fields (ioaddr and pcsr, etc) or too many non-runtime parameters passed to
the callbacks, etc. But the change also would have been much-much more
invasive than this one is. If despite of that you find the mac_device_info
embedding into stmmac_priv more appropriate (as I do), then I'll provide
the respective patch in place of this one.
