net: phy: add X-Powers AC200/AC300 EPHY driver
    
This commit introduces a new Ethernet PHY driver for the X-Powers AC200
and AC300 companion ICs. It provides package-specific I2C or MDIO control
initialization and implements the standard PHY driver callbacks.

[Severity: High]
Does this error path leave the MDIO bus permanently locked?

Looking at phy_select_page(), it holds the MDIO bus lock even when returning
a negative error code so that the caller can safely clean up. Since this path
returns directly instead of jumping to the out_restore_page label, could this
result in an unrecoverable deadlock for any future accesses on the same bus?
