Introduce ACPI mechanism to get PHYs registered on a MDIO bus and
provide them to be connected to MAC.
An ACPI node property "mdio-handle" is introduced to reference the
MDIO bus on which PHYs are registered with autoprobing method used
by mdiobus_register().

+=========================
+MDIO bus and PHYs in ACPI
+=========================
+
+The PHYs on a mdiobus are probed and registered using mdiobus_register().
+Later, for connecting these PHYs to MAC, the PHYs registered on the
+mdiobus have to be referenced.
+
+For each MAC node, a property "mdio-handle" is used to reference the
+MDIO bus on which the PHYs are registered. On getting hold of the MDIO
+bus, use find_phy_device() to get the PHY connected to the MAC.
+
+
+An example of this is show below::
+
+ Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR17) // 1G
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package (2) {"phy-channel", 1},
+ Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
+ Package (2) {"mdio-handle", Package (){\_SB.MDI0}}
+ }
+ })
+ }
+
+ Scope(\_SB.MCE0.PR18) // 1G
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package (2) {"phy-channel", 2},
+ Package (2) {"phy-mode", "rgmii-id"},
+ Package (2) {"mdio-handle", Package (){\_SB.MDI0}}
+ }
+ })
