Subject: [PATCH 0/4] au1000_eth platform device/driver conversion

Hi Ralf, David, Manuel,

The following patches convert the AMD Alchemy au1000_eth driver
to become a platform device/driver. The patches are splitted that way:

PATCH 1: set up the infrastructure in the board code to register au1000_eth as
as platform device.
PATCH 2: convert au1000_eth to become a real platform driver
PATCH 3: add infrastructure to pass PHY informations to the au1000_eth driver
PATCH 4: use those platform_data PHY informations in the au1000_eth driver

The result is a driver which is equally functionnal with no platform-related ifdefs
aiming towards easier integration of the upcoming Alchemy 1300 SoC. The conversion
was made in two times to ease code review as the driver was a real ifdef mess prior
to these changes.

David, on top of this series I send driver cleanups.

Thanks !
