Add new init-regs field for of_phy nodes and make sure these

This allows any phy node in an fdt to initialise registers
that may not be set as standard by the driver at initialisation
time, such as LED controls.
Why not have a driver for the particular PHY? If it's not standard we
don't need to pretend it is. If it has some extensions then the standard
compatible string can be a fallback entry in the compatible list.
I was trying to provide some useful and reasonably generic code
to setup PHYs without having to add specific arguments to each of
them.
I could have added something like ksz8041,led-mode1 = <1> and
updated the micrel driver.
