of: mdio: Support fixed links in of_phy_get_and_connect()
By a simple extension of of_phy_get_and_connect() drivers that have a fixed link on e.g. RGMII can support also fixed links, so in addition to: ethernet-port { phy-mode = "rgmii"; phy-handle = <&foo>; }; This setup with a fixed-link node and no phy-handle will now also work just fine: ethernet-port { phy-mode = "rgmii"; fixed-link { speed = <1000>; full-duplex; pause; }; }; This is very helpful for connecting random ethernet ports to e.g. DSA switches that typically reside on fixed links. The phy-mode is still there as the fixes link in this case is still an RGMII link. Tested on the Cortina Gemini driver with the Vitesse DSA router chip on a fixed 1Gbit link.
