net: phy: remove fixed_phy_add and first its users
fixed_phy_add() has a number of problems/disadvantages:
- It uses phy address 0 w/o checking whether a fixed phy with this
address exists already.
- A subsequent call to fixed_phy_register() would also use phy address 0,
because fixed_phy_add() doesn't mark it as used.
- fixed_phy_add() is used from platform code, therefore requires that
fixed phy code is built-in.
fixed_phy_add() has only two users
- coldfire/5272, using fec
- bcm47xx, using b44
So migrate fec and b44 to use fixed_phy_register_100fd(), afterwards
remove usage of fixed_phy_add() from the two platforms, and eventually
remove fixed_phy_add().
