Steve Douthit 643bae17fd ixgbe: use mii_bus to handle MII related ioctls
Use the mii_bus callbacks to address the entire clause 22/45 address
space.  Enables userspace to poke switch registers instead of a single
PHY address.

The ixgbe firmware may be polling PHYs in a way that is not protected by
the mii_bus lock.  This isn't new behavior, but as Andrew Lunn pointed
out there are more addresses available for conflicts.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
