ppc4xx: Add support for GPCS, SGMII and M88E1112 PHY

This patch adds GPCS, SGMII and M88E1112 PHY support
for the AMCC PPC460GT/EX processors.

added PPC4xx support for this "fixed" PHY's. Please take a look at it to see
if you can use it for your board/PHY as well. I think it should be generic
enough for your case.

If you don't tell me otherwise, I view your patch as obsolete.

Best regards,
Stefan
