Add support for the led-mode property for the following PHYs
which have a single LED mode configuration value.

KSZ8001 and KSZ8041 which both use register 0x1e bits 15,14 and
KSZ8021, KSZ8031 and KSZ8051 which use register 0x1f bits 5,4
to control the LED configuration.

+              See the respective PHY datasheet for the mode values.

What do these mean, roughly,, and why can the kernel not decide how to
cnofigure these?

Board specific, in the case of the Lager one of the LEDs is connected
to the ethernet mac block to indicate link, however the default mode
is not for just "Link" so we have to change it.

In general we prefer to not place raw register values in the DT, and I'd
like to know why we'd have to here.

I could copy out stuff from the data-sheet, but I was trying to avoid a
copy and paste job.
