In earlier case phy fixup are added in board file as this is no more the case
so adding support for phy register fixup in Device Tree

Signed-off-by: Mugunthan V N <mugunthanvnm@xxxxxx>
When people put a series of undocumented PHY register writes using
constants, we tell them it's firmware.

If these PHY registers are actually documented in the driver, write a
function in that driver which does the programming sequence, then add
a property that the driver looks for in order to determine whether to
call that sequence or not.

I don't want people putting random PHY raw programming sequences and
other crap like that into the OF device nodes.  It's extremely
inelegant and inviting abuse.

Will modify the source as per your comments and will submit v2 patch set.
