Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] of: provide a binding for the 'fixed-link' property

Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
binding allows to describe a "fixed link", as a "fixed-link" property
of the Ethernet device Device Tree node.

This patch adds:

 * A documentation for the Device Tree property "fixed-link".

 * A of_phy_register_fixed_link() OF helper, which provided an OF node
   that contains a "fixed-link" property, registers the corresponding
   fixed PHY.

 * Removes the warning on the of_phy_connect_fixed_link() that says
   new drivers should not use it, since Grant Likely indicated that
   this "fixed-link" property is indeed the way to go.

+Fixed link Device Tree binding
+------------------------------
+
+Some Ethernet MACs have a "fixed link", and are not connected to a
+normal MDIO-managed PHY device. For those situations, a Device Tree
+binding allows to describe a "fixed link".
+
+Such a fixed link situation is described within an Ethernet device
+Device Tree node using a 'fixed-link' property, composed of 5
+elements:
+
+ 1. A fake PHY ID, which must be unique accross all fixed-link PHYs in
+    the system.
+ 2. The duplex (1 for full-duplex, 0 for half-duplex)
+ 3. The speed (10, 100, 1000)
+ 4. The pause setting (1 for enabled, 0 for disabled)
+ 5. The asym pause setting (1 for enabled, 0 for disabled)
+
+Example:
+
+ethernet@0 {
+	...
+	fixed-link = <1 1 1000 0 0>;
+	...
+};
+
