This patchset adds Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers. It
doesn't fully cover the C APIs for PHY drivers but I think that it's
already useful. I implement two PHY drivers (Asix AX88772A PHYs and
Realtek Generic FE-GE). Seems they work well with real hardware.

Thanks for lots of feedback on v1! I've tried to address them but
sorry if I missed some.

Here are major changes from v1:

- uses rustified enum for C's phy_state enum

This guarantees that C and Rust never diverge. If the C code is
changed without updating the Rust code, compiling the Rust code fails.

Note that C allows using a value that isn't defined in phy_state enum
for phy_state. It leads to undefined behaviour in Rust side. But this
enum is used as state machine in the C side. Such should not
happen. If it happens, it's a bug on the C side.

- adds the Asix driver to drivers/net/phy/ instead of samples/rust/

I've implemented all the features of drivers/net/phy/ax88796b.c. The
features of C and Rust versions are equivalent. You can choose either
on kernel configuration. I suppose that how to handle drivers in Rust
will be discussed in KS or somewhere. Until then, you can use this
to make reviewing the abstractions easier.

- uses static allocation for phy_driver

v1 dynamically allocates memory for phy_driver. v2 uses static
allocation; the registration of drivers is much simpler. I added a
macro that handles registering drivers, building the device id table,
etc.

- cleaning up the interface for PHYLIB

Uses u16 for register and value, keeps genphy_ function names,
dropping lockless_ functions without MDIO bus locked, etc. u8 could be
used for C22 registers but I like to use the same type for C22 and C45.
