Too many files to review at once, the diffstat was around 5000+ lines!
You should split this into logical parts, or just submit the basic
bits for now and add the features later.

This is racy, after register_netdev() is called, the network stack is
free to use the interface, which means that as much as possible needs
to be initialized before you call it, including clocks, and MDIO.

Don't do this, register your MDIO bus before calling register_netdev().

This is not required, both the PHY library and the network stack will
do that for you.

This is clunky, and you are duplicating what of_mdiobus_register()
will do for you, but since you are not using the standard Ethernet PHY
device tree node, you could not use that code. So please use the
standard Ethernet PHY device tree node such that you can remove that
code and leverage it instead.
