Add the possibility to set the phy address. This is needed if an integrated
switch is connected to the MAC, as it is often the case that the highest port
is the one connected to the MAC of the MCU.

E.g. in the case of the Micrel KSZ8873, port 3 is the one to connect to the
MCU, thus, the MAC needs to connect to phy address 0x03, instead of the first
phy found.
We're using phy_mask in one of our projects, it's still using 2.6.29,
though. I think it's worth testing if it's still working.

static struct at91_eth_data __initdata p298_macb_data = {
       .is_rmii        = 0,
       .phy_mask       = ~(1 << 8),
};

at91_add_device_eth(&p298_macb_data);

cheers, Marc
