This makes it possible for HW PHY-less boards to utilize PAL goodies. Generic
routines to connect to fixed PHY are provided, as well as ability to specify
software callback that fills up link, speed, etc. information into PHY
descriptor (the latter feature not tested so far).

Andy,
libphy has no license tag. Something like the attached (untested!) patch
is needed. Hopefully such a change finds its way into 2.6.15.

This patch adds back the code that was taken out, thus re-enabling:
* The PHY Layer to initialize without crashing
* Drivers to actually connect to PHYs
* The entire PHY Control Layer
This patch is used by the gianfar driver, and other drivers which are in
development.

ethernet drivers to remain as ignorant as is reasonable of the connected
PHY's design and operation details.
