Florian Fainelli 5a11dd7d96 net: phy: Allow PHY devices to identify themselves as Ethernet switches, etc.
Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding
of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module,
switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc
implementations looking like this:

- using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link
  indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware

- pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth

Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the
correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their
CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able
to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context
of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not
need to monitor this link since it should be always up.
