Hi,
Let me first prepend this submission with 4 points:

* this is not in a merge-ready state
* some code has been copied from the ongoing oa_tc6 work by Parthiban
* this has to interop with code not yet merged (oa_tc6)
* Microchip is looking into if rev.b0 can use the rev.b1 init procedure

The ongoing work by Parthiban Veerasooran is probably gonna get at least
one more revision
(https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240418125648.372526-1-Parthiban.Veerasooran@microchip.com/ (local))

I'm publishing this early as it could benefit some of the discussions in
the oa_tc6 threads, as well as giving other devs the possibility
massaging things to a state where they can use the rev.b1 chip (rev.b0
is eol).
And I need feedback on how to wrap this up.

Far as I can tell the phy-driver cannot access some of the regs necessary
for probing the hardware and performing the init/fixup without going
over the spi interface.
The MMDCTRL register (used with indirect access) can address

* PMA - mms 3
* PCS - mms 2
* Vendor specific / PLCA - mms 4

This driver needs to access mms (memory map seleector)
* mac registers - mms 1,
* vendor specific / PLCA - mms 4
* vencor specific - mms 10

Far as I can tell, mms 1 and 10 are only accessible via spi. In the
oa_tc6 patches this is enabled by the oa_tc6 framework by populating the
mdiobus->read/write_c45 funcs.

In order to access any mms I needed I added the following change in the
oa_tc6.c module

static int oa_tc6_get_phy_c45_mms(int devnum)
 {
+       if(devnum & BIT(31))
+               return devnum & GENMASK(30, 0);

Which corresponds to the 'mms | BIT(31)' snippets in this commit, this
is really not how things should be handled, and I need input on how to
proceed here.

Here we get into a weird spot, this driver will need changes in the
oa_tc6 submission, but it's weird to submit support for yet another phy
with that patchset (in my opinion).

This has been tested with a lan8650 rev.b1 chip on one end and a lan8670
usb eval board on the other end. Performance is rather lacking, the
rev.b0 reaches close to the 10Mbit/s limit, but b.1 only gets about
~4Mbit/s, with the same results when PLCA enabled or disabled.

I suggest that this patch is left to brew until the oa_tc6 changes are
accepted, at which time this is fixed up.
