[PATCH 1/6] mdio_bus: Add generic mdio_find_bus()

From: Jeremy Linton <hidden>

Subsystem: ethernet phy library, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

It appears most ethernet drivers follow one of two main strategies
for mdio bus/phy management. A monolithic model where the net driver
itself creates, probes and uses the phy, and one where an external
mdio/phy driver instantiates the mdio bus/phy and the net driver
only attaches to a known phy. Usually in this latter model the phys
are discovered via DT relationships or simply phy name/address
hardcoding.

This is a shame because modern well behaved mdio buses are self
describing and can be probed. The mdio layer itself is fully capable
of this, yet there isn't a clean way for a standalone net driver
to attach and enumerate the discovered devices. This is because
outside of of_mdio_find_bus() there isn't a straightforward way
to acquire the mii_bus pointer.

So, lets add a mdio_find_bus which can return the mii_bus based
only on its name.
