[PATCH] Allow MACB to connect to a higher addresses PHY.

[Anders Darander]

From: Anders Darander <ad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Using the Atmel MACB together with an integrated switch, can make only port 1
work. This is caused by macb_mii_probe trying to attach the MAC to the first
PHY, which often is on one of the external ports.

E.g. the Micrel KSZ8873 connects to the MAC on port 3, thus phy_addr should be
set to 3.
