Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: phylib: remove the length limitation of mii bus id

From: Dong Aisheng <dong.aisheng@...aro.org>

When convert to dt, the length of old mii bus id (17 bytes) is not
sufficent to use.
For example, the bus id could be 800f0000.ethernet-1:00 in DT.

This patch removes the bus id length limitation by changing the
bus id to a const char pionter and user could dynamically set the
bus id via kasprintf function call.

Since then no users use MII_BUS_ID_SIZE any more, just remove it.

Signed-off-by: Dong Aisheng <dong.aisheng@...aro.org>

The simplest way may just change MII_BUS_ID_SIZE to a more bigger size,
but i'm not sure that's gonna be accepted.
So changed to remove the bus id length limitation, a lot of handwork.

Since this patch changes a lot of other ethernet drivers and i did
not have condition to test it, need each corresponding driver owners
to help review.

I just greped the macro MII_BUS_ID_SIZE in the latest kernel tree and
did the replacement.
In case any one missed(may not use MII_BUS_ID_SIZE), that driver owner
should help change it.

Only tested the fec driver on i.MX28 EVK board.
