Add support for parsing the ACPI data node for PHY devices on an MDIO bus.
The current implementation depend on mdio bus scan.
With _DSD device properties we can finally do this:

    Device (MDIO) {
        Name (_DSD, Package () {
            ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
            Package () { Package () { "ethernet-phy@0", PHY0 }, }
        })
        Name (PHY0, Package() {
            ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
            Package () { Package () { "reg", 0x0 }, }
        })
    }

    Device (MACO) {
        Name (_DSD, Package () {
            ToUUID ("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
            Package () { Package () { "phy-handle", \_SB.MDIO, "ethernet-phy@0" }, }
        })
    }

Documentations:
    The DT "phy-handle" binding that we reuse for ACPI is documented in
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

Would it be possible to re-factor that code and share it instead?

I thought about it, we can actually do it with fwnode.

But I don't have a lot of concentrate to do this. I'm going to focus on
a few other things...:(

Maybe in the second half of 2019 I can re-factor them if there is no one
re-factor them.
