Subject: [RFC 08/11] net: phy: Allow mdio buses to auto-probe c45 devices

The mdiobus_scan logic is currently hardcoded to only
work with c22 devices. This works fairly well in most
cases, but its possible a c45 device doesn't respond
despite being a standard phy. If the parent hardware
is capable, it makes sense to scan for c45 devices before
falling back to c22.

As we want this to reflect the capabilities of the STA,
lets add a field to the mii_bus structure to represent
the capability. That way devices can opt into the extended
scanning. Existing users should continue to default to c22
only scanning as long as they are zero'ing the structure
before use.

At the moment its a yes/no option, but in the future
it may be useful to extend this to c45 only policy, or
add additional classes and policies.
