drivers: phy: add generic PHY framework

The PHY framework provides a set of APIs for the PHY drivers to
create/destroy a PHY and APIs for the PHY users to obtain a reference to the
PHY with or without using phandle. For dt-boot, the PHY drivers should
also register *PHY provider* with the framework.

PHY drivers should create the PHY by passing id and ops like init, exit,
power_on and power_off. This framework is also pm runtime enabled.

The documentation for the generic PHY framework is added in
Documentation/phy.txt and the documentation for dt binding can be found at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/phy-bindings.txt

+	  Generic PHY support.
+
+	  This framework is designed to provide a generic interface for PHY
+	  devices present in the kernel. This layer will have the generic
+	  API by which phy drivers can create PHY using the phy framework and
+	  phy users can obtain reference to the PHY. All the users of this
+	  framework should select this config.
