Subject: [PATCH v4 01/15] docs: phy: Add a part about PHY mode and submode

Besides giving pointers to the relevant functions for PHY mode and
submode configuration, this clarifies the need to set them before
powering on the PHY.

+PHY Mode and Submode
+====================
+
+Once a reference to a PHY is obtained by a controller, the PHY can be configured
+to a PHY mode and submode. PHY modes are described in the `phy_mode` enum while
+submodes are specific to the selected PHY mode.
+
+Mode and submode configuration is done by calling::
+
+	int phy_set_mode_ext(struct phy *phy, enum phy_mode mode, int submode);
+
+If no submode is to be configured, users can call::
+
+	int phy_set_mode(struct phy *phy, enum phy_mode mode);
+
+The PHY mode and submode must not be configured after the PHY has already been
+powered on.
