The net fixed phy driver does not require the creation of a platform

With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the device to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will get rid of the fake platform device.
