Hi all,

The fixed link support is broken since The Big OF MDIO Rework,
the rework simply removed most of the code that was needed for
fixed links.

Too bad I didn't notice this earlier, I saw a bunch of patches
on the ml, but unfortunately I didn't look very close presuming
that Grant knew what he was doing. :-) And obviously I didn't
test linux-next on anything that requires a fixed link.

Apparently I didn't.  sorry.

Anyway, here are four patches. The first one adds the fixed link
support to a framework, otherwise we'd duplicate the code across
the drivers (as we did previously), and I tried to keep drivers'
changes minimal.

As I described in my previous email, I don't think this is a good
approach and I don't think it should be merged.
