====================
net: phy: fixed_phy: replace list of fixed PHYs with static array

Due to max 32 PHY addresses being available per mii bus, using a list
can't support more fixed PHY's. And there's no known use case for as
much as 32 fixed PHY's on a system. 8 should be plenty of fixed PHY's,
so use an array of that size instead of a list. This allows to
significantly reduce the code size and complexity.
In addition replace heavy-weight IDA with a simple bitmap.
