[U-Boot] [PATCH] miiphy: Note that miiphy_* API is deprecated

Andy Fleming

We want to move everything to phylib, and we definitely don't want
new drivers using the miiphy infrastructure.

---------------------------

+What: Users of the legacy miiphy_* code
+When: undetermined
+
+Why: We now have a PHY library, which allows everyone to share PHY
+ drivers. All new drivers should use this infrastructure, and
+ all old drivers should get converted to use it.
+
+Who: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> and driver maintainers
+
+---------------------------
+
What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
When: Release v2012.03
