[PATCH RFC] powerpc: switch two fixed phy links to full duplex

These two fixed links are the only ones in-kernel specifying half duplex.
If these could be switched to full duplex, then half duplex handling
could be removed from phylib fixed phy, phylink, swphy.

The SoC MAC's are capable of full duplex, fs_enet MAC driver is as well.
Anything that would keep us from switching to full duplex?

Whilst at it, replace the deprecated old fixed-link binding.
