[net-next RFC PATCH 0/3] net: phy: detach PHY driver OPs from phy_driver struct

[Christian Marangi]

Posting as RFC due to the massive change to a fundamental struct.

While adding some PHY ID for Aquantia, I notice that there is a
big problem with duplicating OPs with each PHY.

The original idea to prevent this was to use mask on the PHY ID
and identify PHY Family. Problem is that OEM started to use all
kind of PHY ID and this is not doable, hence for PHY that have
the same OPs, we have to duplicate all of them.

This is present in Aquantia PHY, but is much more present in
other PHY, especially in the BCM7XXX where they use a big macro
for common PHYs.

To reduce patch delta, I added the additional variable without
adding tabs as this would have resulted in a massive patch.
Also to have patch bisectable, this change has to be in one go
hence I had to use this trick to reduce patch delta.

Other solution to this problem were to introduce additional
variables to phy_driver struct but that would have resulted
in having 2 different way to do the same thing and that is not O.K.

I took care to compile-test all the PHY, only exception is the unique
RUST driver, where I still have to learn that funny language and
I didn't had time to update it, so that is the only driver that
I think require some fixup.

I posted 2 example that would benefits from this change, but I can
find much more in other PHY driver.
