net: phy: aquantia: add firmware load support



Aquantia PHY-s require firmware to be loaded before they start operating.
It can be automatically loaded in case when there is a SPI-NOR connected
to Aquantia PHY-s or can be loaded from the host via MDIO.

This patch adds support for loading the firmware via MDIO as in most cases
there is no SPI-NOR being used to save on cost.
Firmware loading code itself is ported from mainline U-boot with cleanups.

The firmware has mixed values both in big and little endian.
PHY core itself is big-endian but it expects values to be in little-endian.
The firmware is little-endian but CRC-16 value for it is stored at the end
of firmware in big-endian.

It seems the PHY does the conversion internally from firmware that is
little-endian to the PHY that is big-endian on using the mailbox
but mailbox returns a big-endian CRC-16 to verify the written data
integrity.
