[RFC net-next 0/2] net: phy: Support enabling clocks prior to bus probe

[Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

This patch series takes care of enabling the Ethernet PHY clocks in
DT-based systems (we have no way to do it for ACPI, and ACPI would
likely keep all of this hardware enabled anyway).

Please test on your respective platforms, mine still seems to have
a race condition that I am tracking down as it looks like we are not
waiting long enough post clock enable.

The check on the clock reference count is necessary to avoid an
artificial bump of the clock reference count and to support the unbind
-> bind of the PHY driver. We could solve it in different ways.

Comments and test results welcome!
