Since ucc_geth is being migrated to use the phylib, the existing
(undocumented) 'interface' property is being deprecated in favour
of unconjoined variations 'max-speed' and 'interface-type'.
interface-type is now maintained one-to-one with definitions
in include/linux/phy.h. If not specified, "mii" is assumed.
max-speed is available for users to override the interface-derived
speed, e.g. rgmii at 100Mbit/s.

moved to recommended section (from required), removed sgmii, added rgmii-id.
please consider for 2.6.22
