[PATCH net v5 1/4] net: phy: MII-Lite PHY interface mode

["Kamil Horák - 2N" <kamilh@axis.com>]

Some Broadcom PHYs are capable to operate in simplified MII mode,
without TXER, RXER, CRS and COL signals as defined for the MII.
The MII-Lite mode can be used on most Ethernet controllers with full
MII interface by just leaving the input signals (RXER, CRS, COL)
inactive. The absence of COL signal makes half-duplex link modes
impossible but does not interfere with BroadR-Reach link modes on
Broadcom PHYs, because they are all full-duplex only.

Add MII-Lite interface mode, especially for Broadcom two-wire PHYs.
