The main goal of this series is to extend the DW XPCS device support in
the kernel. Particularly the patchset adds the DW XPCS MCI/APB3 management
interface support to the MDIO subsystem (basically it's a way to access
the memory-mapped DW XPCS devices), modifies the DW XPCS PCS-driver to
being registered as a standard MDIO-device driver and finally extends the
STMMAC MDIO sub-module functionality so one would be able to support both
SMA- and MI-based ways to communicate with the XPCS-device. The later way
will implies to have an XPCS-device passed to the DW MAC node via the
generic "pcs-handle" property.

The series traditionally starts with the cleanup patches, which can be
also considered as preparations. First redundant sentinel entry and the
header files are removed. Then two errno cleanups are introduced: return
EINVAL from the soft-reset method and make sure that the validate method
returns EINVAL straight away if the requested interface isn't supported by
the XPCS device instance.

Afterwards three preparation patches are introduced. First one just moves
the generic DW XPCS IDs macro-based declarations from the internal header
file to the external one where some other IDs also reside. Second patch
updates the XPCS registration procedure to avoid dummy MDIO-device
creation if it is already available in the framework of the specified
MDIO-bus. Finally third patch splits up the xpcs_create() method to a set
of the coherent sub-function for the sake of the further easier updates
and to have it looking less complicated.

The next three patches add the DW XPCS Management Interface driver to the
MDIO subsystem, update the DW XPCS driver to support a PCS-device
registered on a MDIO-bus and add the DT-bindings for both of these
objects.  Note the hierarchical design (having a DW XPCS device defined as
a sub-node of the DW XPCS management interface node) has been chosen for
several reasons. First Synopsys calls the MCI/APB3 interface as Management
Interface with two possible ways of the MMD CSRs access (direct and
indirect), which is basically a bus between the system and the PCS-device
with a possibility to have more than just one device attached. So the
chosen design looks more correct from the HW representation point of view.
Second the drivers for the SMA/MDIO-capable controllers (STMMAC and it's
glue layers for example) will still be able to manually register an
MDIO-bus but from now with custom XPCS-device identifiers. So the DW XPCS
driver will get to be attached to that device activating respective
internal functionality (see patches 10, 13 and 16). Thus if there is no
way to auto-identify the XPCS device capabilities it can be done based on
the custom device IDs or DT-node compatible string (see patch 10). But if
it's, then the device IDs will be auto-detected by the MDIO-subsystem and
the DW XPCS driver will still get attached to the device on the MDIO-bus.
All of that AFAICS would have been impossible (or much harder) to
implement should the Management Interface MDIO-bus be just internally
created in the DW XPCS driver.

Afterwards two patches add the "pcs-handle" DT-property support to the DW
XPCS driver. The first one of them is a preparation patch, which just
converts the name of the currently available XPCS device registration
method to having "_byaddr" suffix. It better identifies the method and
will make it more distinguishable from the method being added in the next
patch. The second patch introduces a new function which responsibility is
to create the DW XPCS descriptor based on the "pcs-handle" property and
PCS-PHY interface. The prototype is specifically selected to be looking
similar to another XPCS device registration method and to the phylink
fwnode-based connect interface function.

Finally after two small preparations the STMMAC driver is finally updated
to support the DW XPCS devices specified via the "pcs-handle" firmware
node. Thus the STMMAC driver from now will be able to handle the cases
with the DW XPCS devices accessible over the memory-based management
interface or over the external MDIO-buses.

That's it for now. Thanks for review in advance. Any tests are very
welcome. After this series is merged in, I'll submit another one which
adds the generic 10GBase-R and 10GBase-X interfaces support to the STMMAC
and DW XPCS driver with proper CSRs re-initialization, PMA initialization
and reference clock selection as it's defined by the Synopsys DW XPCS HW
manual.
