gianfar: Convert gianfar to an of_platform_driver
Does the same for the accompanying MDIO driver, and then modifies the TBI configuration method. The old way used fields in einfo, which no longer exists. The new way is to create an MDIO device-tree node for each instance of gianfar, and create a tbi-handle property to associate ethernet controllers with the TBI PHYs they are connected to.

24* TBI Internal MDIO bus
25
26As of this writing, every tsec is associated with an internal TBI PHY.
27This PHY is accessed through the local MDIO bus. These buses are defined
28similarly to the mdio buses, except they are compatible with "fsl,gianfar-tbi".
29The TBI PHYs underneath them are similar to normal PHYs, but the reg property
30is considered instructive, rather than descriptive. The reg property should
31be chosen so it doesn't interfere with other PHYs on the bus.
