When convert to dt, the length of old mii bus id (17 bytes) is not
sufficent to use.
For example, the bus id could be 800f0000.ethernet-1:00 in DT.

This patch removes the bus id length limitation by changing the
bus id to a const char pionter and user could dynamically set the
bus id via kasprintf function call.

Since then no users use MII_BUS_ID_SIZE any more, just remove it.

The simplest way may just change MII_BUS_ID_SIZE to a more bigger size,
but i'm not sure that's gonna be accepted.

The simplest fix has been applied on -next tree as below.

    net: fec: correct phy_name buffer length when init phy_name

    Fix the bug that we got wrong phy_name on imx6q sabrelite board.
    snprintf used wrong length of phy_name.
    phy_name length is MII_BUS_ID_SIZE + 3 rather not MII_BUS_ID_SIZE.
    I change it to sizeof(phy_name).
