This is the resend of the two patches as per Andy's request for v2.6.26
that allow boards with a PHY at the end of the bus to function, by having
the TBIPA set dynamically.  The 1st patch factors out some of the PHY
probe code so it can be recycled by the TBIPA probe, and the second patch
implements the dynamic probe itself.

I notice that these two patches only touch drivers/net and
include/linux.  If you want these to go upstream into Linus' tree, you
will need to send them to Jeff Garzik and the netdev list.  Posting
them to the linuxppc-dev list is fine for getting them reviewed but
isn't a path to upstream.
