netdev/phy: add MDIO bus multiplexer driven by a memory-mapped device
Add support for an MDIO bus multiplexer controlled by a simple memory-mapped device, like an FPGA. The device must be memory-mapped and contain only 8-bit registers (which keeps things simple). Tested on a Freescale P5020DS board which uses the "PIXIS" FPGA attached to the localbus. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+Properties for an MDIO bus multiplexer controlled by a memory-mapped device
+
+This is a special case of a MDIO bus multiplexer. A memory-mapped device,
+like an FPGA, is used to control which child bus is connected. The mdio-mux
+node must be a child of the memory-mapped device. The driver currently only
+supports devices with eight-bit registers.
+
+Required properties in addition to the generic multiplexer properties:
+
+- compatible : string, must contain "mdio-mux-mmioreg"
+
+- reg : integer, contains the offset of the register that controls the bus
+ multiplexer. The size field in the 'reg' property is the size of
+ register, and must therefore be 1.
+
+- mux-mask : integer, contains an eight-bit mask that specifies which
+ bits in the register control the actual bus multiplexer. The
+ 'reg' property of each child mdio-mux node must be constrained by
+ this mask.
+
+Example:
+
+The FPGA node defines a memory-mapped FPGA with a register space of 0x30 bytes.
+For the "EMI2" MDIO bus, register 9 (BRDCFG1) controls the mux on that bus.
+A bitmask of 0x6 means that bits 1 and 2 (bit 0 is lsb) are the bits on
+BRDCFG1 that control the actual mux.
