    NET: Support clause 45 MDIO commands at the MDIO bus level · abf35df2
    Jason Gunthorpe authored
    IEEE 802.3ae clause 45 specifies a somewhat modified MDIO protocol
    for use by 10GIGE phys. The main change is a 21 bit address split into
    a 5 bit device ID and a 16 bit register offset. The definition is designed
    so that normal and extended devices can run on the same MDIO bus.
    
    Extend mdio-bitbang to do the new protocol. At the MDIO bus level the
    protocol is requested by or'ing MII_ADDR_C45 into the register offset.
    
    Make phy_read/phy_write/etc pass a full 32 bit register offset.
    
    This does not attempt to make the phy layer support C45 style PHYs, just
    to provide the MDIO bus support.
    
    Tested against a Broadcom 10GE phy with ID 0x206034, and several
    Broadcom 10/100/1000 Phys in normal mode.
