Currently, there are two different fields in the
mv643xx_eth_platform_data struct that together describe the PHY
address -- one field (phy_addr) has the address of the PHY, but if
that address is zero, a second field (force_phy_addr) needs to be
set to distinguish the actual address zero from a zero due to not
having filled in the PHY address explicitly (which should mean
'use the default PHY address').
If we are a bit smarter about the encoding of the phy_addr field,
we can avoid the need for a second field -- this patch does that.

The mv643xx_eth hardware has a provision for polling the PHY's
MII management registers to obtain the (R)(G)MII interface speed
(10/100/1000) and duplex (half/full) and pause (off/symmetric)
settings to use to talk to the PHY.
The driver currently does not make use of this feature. Instead,
whenever there is a link status change event, it reads the current
link parameters from the PHY, and programs those parameters into
the mv643xx_eth MAC by hand.
This patch switches the mv643xx_eth driver to letting the MAC
auto-determine the (R)(G)MII link parameters by PHY polling, if there
is a PHY present. For PHYless ports (when e.g. the (R)(G)MII
interface is connected to a hardware switch), we keep hardcoding the
MII interface parameters.
