Add new init-regs field for of_phy nodes and make sure these

This allows any phy node in an fdt to initialise registers
that may not be set as standard by the driver at initialisation
time, such as LED controls.

Why not have a driver for the particular PHY? If it's not standard we
don't need to pretend it is. If it has some extensions then the standard
compatible string can be a fallback entry in the compatible list.

I think allocating a compatible string and handling it in the kernel is
better than having arbitrary register poke values in the dt.

oops, bad rebase fixup, this should have been deleted.
