Subject: [PATCH] net: ftgmac100: Support phyless operation

We have BMC to BMC connections that lack a PHY in between but don't
want to use the NC-SI state machinery of the kernel. Instead,
allow for an option to disable the phy detection and mdio logic.

 - phy-mode: See ethernet.txt file in the same directory. If the property is
   absent, "rgmii" is assumed. Supported values are "rgmii*" and "rmii" for
   aspeed parts. Other (unknown) parts will accept any value.
+- no-phy: Disable any MDIO or PHY connection logic and assume the interface
+  is always up.
 - use-ncsi: Use the NC-SI stack instead of an MDIO PHY. Currently assumes
   rmii (100bT) but kept as a separate property in case NC-SI grows support
   for a gigabit link.
