net: bcmgenet: enable automatic phy discovery



The unimac mdio driver falls back to scanning the
entire bus if its given an appropriate mask. In ACPI
mode we expect that the system is well behaved and
conforms to recent versions of the specification.

We then utilize phy_find_first(), and
phy_connect_direct() to find and attach to the
discovered phy during net_device open. While its
apparently possible to build a genet based device
with multiple phys on a single mdio bus, this works
for current machines. Further, this driver makes
a number of assumptions about the platform device,
mac, mdio and phy all being 1:1. Lastly, It also
avoids having to create references across the ACPI
namespace hierarchy.
