Now the UCLASS_ETH device "node" field is owerwritten by some network drivers in
case of Ethernet PHYs which are linked to UCLASS_ETH device using
"phy-handle" DT property and when Ethernet PHY driver needs to read some
additional information from DT. In such cases following happens (in
general):

- network drivers
         priv->phydev = phy_connect(priv->bus, priv->phyaddr, dev,
                                    priv->interface);
         <-- phydev is connected to dev which is UCLASS_ETH device

         if (priv->phy_of_handle > 0)
                 dev_set_of_offset(priv->phydev->dev, priv->phy_of_handle);
         <-- phydev->dev->node is overwritten by phy-handle DT node

- PHY driver in .config() callback
         int node = dev_of_offset(dev);
         <-- PHY driver uses overwritten dev->node
         const void *fdt = gd->fdt_blob;

          if (fdtdec_get_bool(fdt, node, "property"))
                 ...

As result, UCLASS_ETH device can't be used any more for DT accessing.

This patch adds additional ofnode node field to struct phy_device which can
be set explicitly by network drivers and used by PHY drivers, so
overwriting can be avoided. Also add helper function phy_get_ofnode()
which will check and return phy_device->node or dev_ofnode(phydev->dev) for
backward compatibility with existing drivers.

I will resend v2 of this, as we found a bug - ofnode field need to be
explicitly initialized in phy_device_create() for !CONFIG_OF_LIVE
