Add the PHY_ID_FMT macro to ensure that the format of the id string used by a
driver to match to its specific phy is consistent between the mdio_bus and the
driver.

Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it. This field
indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus.
This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be
converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems
lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return
0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm
working on also makes use of this mask.

This patch adds back the code that was taken out, thus re-enabling:
* The PHY Layer to initialize without crashing
* Drivers to actually connect to PHYs
* The entire PHY Control Layer
This patch is used by the gianfar driver, and other drivers which are in
development.
