Rather than having platform glue implement SerDes PHY support, add it
to the core driver, specifically to the stmmac integrated PCS driver
as the SerDes is connected to the integrated PCS.

Platforms using external PCS can also populate plat->serdes, and the
core driver will call phy_init() and phy_exit() when the administrative
state of the interface changes, but the other phy methods will not be
called.

Unfortunately I have no way to test. But still,

I am hoping Mohd Ayaan Anwar will be able to do at least some testing
on the qcom-ethqos hardware.
