[PATCH v2] net: phy: micrel: Update Kconfig help text

[PATCH v2] net: phy: micrel: Update Kconfig help text

[Jonas Rebmann]

This driver by now supports 17 different Microchip (formerly known as
Micrel) chips: KSZ9021, KSZ9031, KSZ9131, KSZ8001, KS8737, KSZ8021,
KSZ8031, KSZ8041, KSZ8051, KSZ8061, KSZ8081, KSZ8873MLL, KSZ886X,
KSZ9477, LAN8814, LAN8804 and LAN8841.

Support for the VSC8201 was removed in commit 51f932c4870f ("micrel phy
driver - updated(1)")

Update the help text to reflect that, list families instead of models to
ease future maintenance.

Changes in v2:
- Don't capitalize "micrel" in commit message (Thanks, Jakub)
- Name chip families with the common xxx-placeholders (Thanks, Jakub)
- Be a bit more specific as to which families
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250909-micrel-kconfig-v1-1-22d04bb90052@pengutronix.de

Much better, thanks.

It is a bit unusual to see a signature, git send-email, or b4 send
would not do that. But patch(1) should be able to figure this out.

For future reference, the Subject line should have the tree inside the
[].
