Good to see some of the dev_flags go away!

PHY_BCM_FLAGS_MODE_1000BX is used just from broadcom.c, therefore it can
probably be moved to a structure in phydev->priv.

PHY_BRCM_STD_IBND_DISABLE, PHY_BRCM_EXT_IBND_RX_ENABLE and
PHY_BRCM_EXT_IBND_TX_ENABLE are set by
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c but not used anywhere.
