Subject: [RFC net-next 0/2] Introduce MDIO probe order C45 over C22

Synopsys MAC controller is capable of pairing with external PHY devices
that accessible via Clause-22 and Clause-45.

There is a problem when it is paired with Marvell 88E2110 which returns
PHY ID of 0 using get_phy_c22_id(). We can add this check in that
function, but this will break swphy, as swphy_reg_reg() return 0. [1]

Hence, we introduce MDIOBUS_CAP_C45_C22 which allow us to probe using
Clause-45, if it fails, we then proceed to try with Clause-22.

  net: phy: allow mdio bus to probe for c45 devices before c22
  net: stmmac: allow gmac4 to probe for c45 devices before c22
