[RFC PATCH net-next 5/7] netlink: specs: add phy_list command

[Maxime Chevallier]

Add a new command allowing to list PHYs that are present on a
netdevice's link. The list is an array of phyindex, per-netdevice unique
numbers that describe a PHY device.

Example messages :

 - No PHY on the link (Pure SFP interface) :

./cli.py --spec specs/ethtool.yaml --schema genetlink-legacy.yaml \
	 --do phy-list-get --json '{"header" : {"dev-name" : "eth3"}}'
{'header': {'dev-index': 5, 'dev-name': 'eth3'}, 'phy-count': 0}

 - One PHY on the link :

./cli.py --spec specs/ethtool.yaml --schema genetlink-legacy.yaml \
         --do phy-list-get --json '{"header" : {"dev-name" : "eth2"}}'
{'header': {'dev-index': 4, 'dev-name': 'eth2'},
 'phy-count': 1,
 'phy-indices': b'\x01\x00\x00\x00'}

 - 2 PHYs on the link (MAC - PHY - SFP[PHY]) :

./cli.py --spec specs/ethtool.yaml --schema genetlink-legacy.yaml \
         --do phy-list-get --json '{"header" : {"dev-name" : "eth0"}}'
{'header': {'dev-index': 2, 'dev-name': 'eth0'},
 'phy-count': 2,
 'phy-indices': b'\x02\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00'}

This PHY inddices can then be used by other netlink commands that would
target PHYs.
