Subject: [RFC] Add clause 45 ioctl

Hi,

This patch adds clause 45 definitions to the mii.h. This will allow
enhancing the networking device drivers ioctl to handle clause 45
related operations just as it can handle clause 22 commands today. Since
clause 45 requires additional 16 bits for the bank address, the clause
22 structure cannot be used. The motivation is to allow user space
applications to access PHY registers in clause 45.

I'm sending this as RFC - if anyone has alternative suggestions on how
user space application can access the PHY, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Eilon
