Subject: [RFC] ethtool: remove phys_id from ethtool_ops

Hold this patch until after the Intel and Qlogic driver
changes are merged into net-next. Patches have been submitted
but still waiting for vendor.

After that all the upstream kernel drivers now use phys_id, 
and the old ethtool_ops interface (phys_id) can be removed.
