This set of patches addresses a problem found with the Micrel ksz9021 phy and
libphy, where the ksz9021 phy does not support mmd extended register access
per the IEEE specification as assumed by libphy. The first patch adds a
framework for phy specific support to specify their own function to access
extended phy registers, return a failure code if not supported, or to default
to libphy's IEEE defined method for accessing the mmd extended phy registers.

This issue was found by using the Synopsys EMAC and a Micrel ksz9021 phy on the
Altera Cyclone 5 SOC development kit. This patch was tested on the same system
in both positive and negative test cases.

Thanks for putting this together, this looks good to me now!

Series applied to net-next, thanks everyone.
