With more than two switches in a hierarchy, it becomes necessary to
describe multi-hop routes between switches. The current binding does
not allow this, although the older platform_data did. Extend the link
property to be a list rather than a single phandle to a remote switch.
It is then possible to express that a port should be used to reach
more than one switch and the switch maybe more than one hop away.

When using a cluster of switches, some topologies will have an MDIO
bus per switch, not one for the whole cluster. Allow this to be
represented in the device tree, by adding an optional mii-bus property
at the switch level. The old platform_device method of instantiation
supports this already, so only the device tree binding needs extending
with an additional optional phandle.

According to description in 'include/net/dsa.h', in cascade switches
configurations where there are more than one interconnected devices,
'rtable' array in 'dsa_chip_data' structure is used to indicate which
port on this switch should be used to send packets to that are destined
for corresponding switch.
However, dsa_of_setup_routing_table() fills 'rtable' with port numbers
of the _target_ switch, but not current one.
This commit removes redundant devicetree parsing and adds needed port
number as a function argument. So dsa_of_setup_routing_table() now just
looks for target switch number by parsing parent of 'link' device node.
To remove possible misunderstandings with the way of determining target
switch number, a corresponding comment was added to the source code and
to the DSA device tree bindings documentation file.
This was tested on a custom board with two Marvell 88E6095 switches with
following corresponding routing tables: { -1, 10 } and { 8, -1 }.

The dsa core now supports reading from and writing to a switch EEPROM
if connected. Describe optional devicetree property indicating that
an EEPROM is present and its size.

Add documentation for a bunch of new optional properties described in
ethernet.txt and fixed-link.txt, this includes: 'phy-handle', 'phy-mode'
and the 'fixed-link' subnode.

The device tree binding documentation for dsa explicitely states that a
DSA node should have its #address-cells property set to 2, yet the
example still used 1, fix that typo.

This patch adds support for registering DSA switches using Device Tree
bindings. Note that we support programming the switch routing table even
though no in-tree user seems to require it. I tested this on Armada 370
with a Marvell 88E6172 (not supported by mainline yet).
