[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 00/11] Add XFI, USXGMII net protocols, use them in Aquantia driver

There are several plaforms that use XFI and/or USXGMII protocols but declare
them as XGMII in U-Boot because that's already defined.  These protocols are not
identical and in some cases specific configuration has to be applied for each
of them.
This patch series introduces XFI and USXGMII and updates the Aquantia PHY driver
to use them, in addition to the existing XGMII.

Currently AQR PHYs rely exclusively on firmware to configure system side
protocols as well as a few other parameters, which means that FW has to be
replaced on the PHY when switching between SGMII, SGMII-2.5G, XFI, USXGMII.
This patch set adds support to the driver to reconfigure the system interface
protocol based on the interface selected by the ethernet driver (typically
picked up from DT).  Additional configuration (mdi-reversal, smb-addr) is
also picked up by Aquantia driver from the PHY DT node, if present from a couple
of newly defined properties.

The new aquantia DT attributes are documented in a new binding document.  Also
added a generic PHY node binding document using content from Linux.

And last, update ENETC to use the new interface types.

This patch set supersedes v2:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=124595


Changes in v3:
    - It seems some Gen1 Aquantia PHYs don't behave well when put in low power
      and we're not even reconfiguring Gen1 PHYs anyway, so just leave them
      alone.
    - Changed subject and description in cover letter.
    - Other minor changes.

Changes in v2:
    - Flip USX AN bit both ways as needed, in v1 it was only set for USXGMII
      but not reset for XFI
    - Use CONFIG_DM_ETH instead of CONFIG_OF_CONTROL around the codeu using
      phydev->node
    - Use variable name interface instead of if_type for consistency with
      the rest of the code.
