phy: core: Allow children node to be overridden

In order to more flexibly support device tree bindings, allow drivers to
override the container of the child nodes. By default the device node of
the PHY provider is assumed to be the parent for children, but bindings
may decide to add additional levels for better organization.

 of_phy_provider_register and devm_of_phy_provider_register macros can be used to
 register the phy_provider and it takes device and of_xlate as
 arguments. For the dt boot case, all PHY providers should use one of the above
 2 macros to register the PHY provider.
 
+Often the device tree nodes associated with a PHY provider will contain a set

+nodes within extra levels for context and extensibility, in which case the low
+level of_phy_provider_register_full() and devm_of_phy_provider_register_full()
+macros can be used to override the node containing the children.
