Aquantia PHYs are being used w/o SPI flash in some routers recently.
Current firmware loader only attempts to load from FS on top of MMC,
limiting the use on many devices.
Removed the old firmware loader, migrate to generic firmware loader to
allow a wider range and runtime override of firmware source. (e.g., USB).
Tested on Buffalo WXR18000BE10P with UBIFS.

Can you not use the plain FW_LOADER to load the firmware from either
storage, UBI or Block ? Is FS_LOADER even needed ?
