Most dsa devices currently expect to get a pointer to a mii_bus from platform data of device tree information.
The first patch exposes a mii_bus for ixgbe devices. Currently the ixgbe driver only allows accesses to the probed PHY address via ioctls. The second patch changes that behavior to allow access to all addresses. This should be useful for doing switch peeks & pokes from userspace for development, test, or if theres no dsa driver for a particular switch yet. I've tested the clause 22 portion of this code on a board that has an Intel C3xxx series SoC connected to a Marvell Peridot switch. I don't have any clause 45 devices or other ixgbe devices to test with.
