Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: hibmcge: select FIXED_PHY

hibmcge uses fixed_phy_register() et al, but doesn't cater for the case
that hibmcge is built-in and fixed_phy is a module. To solve this
select FIXED_PHY.

Note: This could also be treated as a fix, but as no problems are known,
treat it as an improvement.
