Subject: Fix phy_init for Marvell network eth driver

Hi all,
resubmitting the patch for Marvell mv643xx driver (patch 1/2) adding the below explanation (thanks to Florian F.):
The D-Link DNS323_REV_C1 board has a specific PHY device fixup using the flag MARVELL_PHY_M1118_DNS323_LEDS which is set by the architecture code in arch/arm/mach-orion5x/dns323-setup.c. This flag is unfortunately lost during the call to phy_attach() in mv643xx_eth and therefore, the underlying Marvell PHY driver cannot make use of this flag to fixup the PHY device LEDs. This patch ensures the phy->dev_flags value is passed to the phy_attach() function such that the PHY device driver can
actually use it.

Also submitting new patch 2/2 using the same (or at least very close in meaning) explanation.
