There is a desire to use the generic driver for the Synopsys XPCS located in drivers/net/pcs, and to achieve that, the sja1105 driver must expose an MDIO bus for the SGMII PCS, because the XPCS probes as an mdio_device. In preparation of the SJA1110 which in fact has a different access procedure for the SJA1105, we register this PCS MDIO bus once in the common code, but we implement function pointers for the read and write methods. In this patch there is a single implementation for them. There is exactly one MDIO bus for the PCS, this will contain all PCSes at MDIO addresses equal to the port number. We delete a bunch of hardware support code because the xpcs driver already does what we need. We need to hack up the MDIO reads for the PHY ID, since our XPCS instantiation returns zeroes and there are some specific fixups which need to be applied by the xpcs driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
