This patch adds a separate driver for the MDIO interface of the
Marvell Ethernet controllers. There are two reasons to have a separate
driver rather than including it inside the MAC driver itself:
*) The MDIO interface is shared by all Ethernet ports, so a driver
must guarantee non-concurrent accesses to this MDIO interface. The
most logical way is to have a separate driver that handles this
single MDIO interface, used by all Ethernet ports.
*) The MDIO interface is the same between the existing mv643xx_eth
driver and the new mvneta driver. Even though it is for now only
used by the mvneta driver, it will in the future be used by the
mv643xx_eth driver as well.
