It's quite common for switches to have PHY per port so adding a generic
helper setting link state will help many drivers. It just needs an API
to access PHYs which this patch also adds.

Some switches can force link speed for a port. Let's add API that will
allow drivers to export this feature.

So far we were sending link data as a string. It got some drawbacks:
1) Didn't allow writing clean user space apps reading link state. It was
needed to do some screen scraping.
2) Forced whole PORT_LINK communication to be string based. Adding
support for *setting* port link required passing string and parting
it in the kernel space.

AR8327/AR8337 allow to read the result of EEE autonegotiation.
If EEE is autonegotiated between the link partners, display
this as part of the swconfig get_link attribute.
eee100: 100MBit EEE supported by both link partners
eee1000: 1GBit EEE supported by both link partners

Also make switches available under a generic name "switch<num>" for device
name agnostic access. The old device name is used as an alias for backward
compatibility.
