Subject: [PATCH] phylib: Add autoload support for the LXT973 phy.

Commit e13647c1 (phylib: Add support for the LXT973 phy.) added a new ID
but neglected to also add it to the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

When I did this stuff, I did wonder if we should make this happen
automatically somehow. I pondered some dirty macro hack in
phy_driver_register() which would do it somehow, but couldn't come up
with anything that'd work.

Removing the phy_id and phy_id_mask from struct phy_driver and having a
pointer to a match table would suck, since each driver only really
matches one device/mask. (Even where a single C file has multiple
drivers, they often differ in some methods or flags.)

The best option I can come up with right now, is probably to remove
phy_id and phy_id_mask from phy_driver and put a pointer to the driver
into the ID table, and take the ID table as the argument to
phy_driver_register(). I'm not sure I like that very much though -- I'd
prefer that we just remember to update the table and don't need to be
forced :)

(Another cheap option is to pass the ID table as an extra argument to
the existing phy_device_register(), I suppose, and it can just print a
warning if it doesn't find the same phy_id and phy_id_mask in the table)
