This adds serdes support to the LS1088ARDB. I have tested the QSGMII
ports as well as the two 10G ports. The SFP slot is now fully supported,
instead of being modeled as a fixed-link.

Linux hangs around when the serdes is initialized if the si5341 is
enabled with the in-tree driver, so I have modeled it as a two fixed
clocks instead. There are a few registers in the QIXIS FPGA which
control the SFP GPIOs; I have modeled them as discrete GPIO controllers
for now. I never saw the AQR105 interrupt fire; not sure what was going
on, but I have removed it to force polling.

So you didn't see the interrupt fire even without these patches?

Not sure. I went to check this, and discovered I could no longer get the
link to come up in Linux, even on v6.0 (before the rate adaptation
tuff). I see the LEDs blinking in U-Boot, so presumably it's some
configuration problem. I'm going to look into this further when I have
more time.

I just tested this on a LS1088ARDB and it works.

	 99:          7  ls-extirq   2 Level     0x0000000008b97000:00

Please don't just remove things.

Well, polling isn't the worst thing for a single interface... I do
remember having a problem with the interrupt. If this series works
with interrupts enabled, I can leave it in.

Did you have a chance to look at the core (patches 7 and 8) of this
series? Does it make sense to you? Am I missing something which would
allow switching from 1G->10G?
