net: phy: decouple PHY id and PHY address in fixed PHY driver
Until now, the fixed_phy_add() function was taking as argument 'phy_id', which was used both as the PHY address on the fake fixed MDIO bus, and as the PHY id, as available in the MII_PHYSID1 and MII_PHYSID2 registers. However, those two informations are completely unrelated. This patch decouples them. The PHY id of fixed PHYs is hardcoded to be 0x0. Ideally, a really reserved value would be nicer, but there doesn't seem to be an easy of making sure a dummy value can be assigned to the Linux kernel for such usage. The PHY address remains passed by the caller of phy_fixed_add().
