[PATCH net-next v11 04/12] net: phylink: save phylink instance fwnode on phylink_create

The firmware node associated with the phylink instance might differ from
the device firmware node passed in phylink_config as such device can
reference the parent switch or other platform peripherals.

Some function might need to reference this firmware node after
phylink_create so add a dedicated fwnode entry in phylink internal struct
and save it on phylink_create().
