phy: Add support for the NC-SI protocol
This introduces support for the NC-SI protocol, modelled as a phy driver
for other ethernet drivers to consume.
NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) is a protocol to manage a
sideband connection to a proper network interface, for example a BMC
(Baseboard Management Controller) sharing the NIC of the host system.
Probing and configuration occurs by communicating with the "remote" NIC
via NC-SI control frames (Ethernet header 0x88f8).
This implementation is roughly based on the upstream Linux
implementation[0], with a reduced feature set and an emphasis on getting
a link up as fast as possible rather than probing the full possible
topology of the bus.
The current phy model relies on the network being "up", sending NC-SI
command frames via net_send_packet() and receiving them from the
net_loop() loop (added in a following patch).
The ncsi-pkt.h header[1] is copied from the Linux kernel for consistent
field definitions.
