[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.
