Add the driver driving the Marvell Berlin USB PHY. This allows to
initialize the PHY and to use it from the USB driver later.

Just out of curiosity, going forward we would like to have phy drivers based on
generic phy framework (drivers/phy).
Any particular reason that we are still adding phy drivers in usb-phy layer ?

Looking at it, seems like it can very well be written based on phy framework.

This USB controller are ChipIdea compatible, and the ChipIdea common
functions use the usb_phy framework. That's why this PHY driver is
there.

Ok, i see that now. In that case shouldn't we be moving even the chipidea
drivers to use the generic phy functions to get the phy and init/exit it.

I think Felipe and Kishon can comment on this better, and tell how
things should be. :-)
