[PATCH v5 0/8] Add MV88E6xxx DSA driver and use on gwventana

This series adds a DSA driver for the MV88E6xxx based on
drivers/net/phy/mv88e61xx and uses it in the gwventana_gw5904_defconfig.

The hope is that the other three boards that use the MV88E61xx driver
can move to this as well eventually so that we can remove the non-dm
driver and the 4 Kconfig options it requires.

The MV88E6xxx has an MDIO interface thus DM_MDIO must be used so support
for a UCLASS_MDIO driver is added to the fec_mxc ethernet driver in a
way that allows a fallback to the previous non DM_MDIO case as there are
many boards out there using this driver that define DM_MDIO but do not
have the required dt props for a DM_MDIO driver which would cause a
regression.

Additionally some other patches are here suggested by Vladimir:
 - ensure MDIO children are scanned on post-bind is needed
 - sanity check DSA driver required ops are present
 - allow DSA drivers to not require xmit/recv functions
 - remove unecessary xmit/recv functions from ksz9477 driver

v5:
 - fix typo in defconfig update
 - added support for MV88E6320
 - added Fabio's rb tag
v4:
 - use standard Linux internal MDIO dt structure
 - use PHY_FIXED_ID define
 - rename to mv88e6xxx
 - sort includes alphabetically
 - remove dsa term from function names
 - reduce indentation level and remove unecessary code in of probe_mdio
   function
 - rename pdev to mdev to represent mdio device

v3:
 - fix mdios node in dt
 - add Vladimir's rb tag's

v2:
 - added Ramon's rb tag's to first two patches
 - add patches for dsa-uclass to sanity check ops and make xmit/recv
   optional
 - fec: fix fallback for non conforming DM_MDIO dts
 - mv88e61xx:
  - rebase on v2022.07-rc2 (use ofnode_get_phy_node)
  - remove unused commented out fields from struct
  - remove unused PORT_MASK macro
  - remove phy from priv struct name
  - refactor code from original drivers/net/phy/mv88e61xx with
    suggestions from review to consolidate some functions
    into mv88e61xx_dsa_port_enable
  - remove unecessary skiping of disabling of CPU port
  - remove unecessary dev_set_parent_priv
  - remove unnecessary static init flag
  - replace debug with a dev_warn if switch device-id unsupported
  - remove unnecessary xmit/recv functions as we rely on the fact that
    only a single port is active instead of mangling packets

Tested on a Gateworks GW5904 which has a Marvell 88E6176 switch hanging
off the IMX6 FEC.

Best Regards,

Tim
