phy: qcom: sgmii-eth: vote for both voltage rails with correct current loads

This commit updates the driver to explicitly vote for both voltage supply
rails with their correct peak current loads using
devm_regulator_bulk_get_const(), rather than relying on the PHY framework's
implicit single-rail voting. It also adds the necessary regulator
enable/disable calls in the power path.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does registering the PHY provider before
setting the driver data create a race condition here?

Looking at the end of qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_probe():

	provider = devm_of_phy_provider_register(dev, of_phy_simple_xlate);
	if (IS_ERR(provider))
		return PTR_ERR(provider);

	phy_set_drvdata(phy, data);

By calling devm_of_phy_provider_register() first, the PHY is made available
to consumers before phy_set_drvdata() initializes the private data.

If a consumer (such as a deferred probe workqueue) concurrently looks up the
PHY and immediately invokes an operation like phy_power_on(), could
qcom_dwmac_sgmii_phy_power_on() read a NULL driver data pointer and cause
a NULL pointer dereference when attempting to access data->vregs?
