[PATCH 0/3] netdev/phy/of: Improve 10G Ethernet PHY support.

The PHY driver core needs a couple of adjustments to be able to
support 10G PHYs. The main issue being that they use a different MDIO
bus protocol (IEEE802.3 clause 45).
The changes are not large:
1) The addr argument to get_phy_id() and get_phy_device() can be
flagged to indicate clause 45 addressing.
2) The device tree helper of_mdiobus_register() uses a new
"compatible" value to hook up the 10G phys.
3) A driver for the BCM8706 which makes use of it all.
