The Meson GXL dwmac Glue Layer also provides switching between an external PHY
and an internal RMII 10/100 PHY.
Add a way to setup the correct PHY switching from a device tree attribute.

Humm, actually. Maybe PHY_IS_INTERNAL in the phydrv->flags is the
better solution. The MAC can then use phy_is_internal(ndev->phydev) to
decide if this register needs programming.

Hi Andrew,

Yes this would be a good idea if we were able to scan the internal and external PHYs at the same time,
but with our limited knowledge the values we write in the register seems to switch a mux for the whole RMII
and MDIO signals to either interface.

Do you have knowledge if this case is already handled upstream ?

Thanks for your help,
Neil
