Hello

2 sunxi board still does not have ethernet working, orangepi 1+ and
orangepi 3.
This is due to the fact thoses boards have a PHY which need 2 regulators.

A first attempt by Ondřej Jirman was made to support them was made by adding support in
stmmac driver:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190820145343.29108-6-megous@megous.com/
Proposal rejected, since regulators need to be handled by the PHY core.

My first tentative was to just add handling of phy and phy-io in
phy-core:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220509074857.195302-7-clabbe@baylibre.com/T/
But having hard-coded phy names was rejected.

Second tentative tryed the same path than clocks and clock-names for
regulators.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/0518eef1-75a6-fbfe-96d8-bb1fc4e5178a@linaro.org/t/
But using this was rejected by DT maintainers.

So v3 use a new regulator_bulk_get_all() which grab all supplies
properties in a DT node.
But this way could have some problem, a netdev driver could handle
already its PHY (like dwmac-sun8i already do) and so both phy-core and
the netdev will use both.
It is why phy-supply was renamed in ephy-supply in patch #3.

This serie was tested on whole range of board and PHY architecture:
- internal PHY
  * sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc
- external PHY
  * sun50i-h6-pine-h64
  * sun8i-r40-bananapi-m2-ultra
  * sun8i-a83t-bananapi-m3
  * sun50i-a64-bananapi-m64
  * sun50i-h6-orangepi-3
  * sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo-plus2

The resume/suspend of PHY was tested.

Regards

changes since v1:
- Add regulator_bulk_get_all for ease handling of PHY regulators
- Removed all convertion patchs to keep DT compatibility.

Changes since v2:
- removed use of regulator-names and regulators list.
