phylib: mdio: Add sysfs attribute for PHY identifiers.
This adds a phy_id sysfs attribute to MDIO devices, containing the
32-bit PHY identifier reported by the device. This attribute can
be useful when debugging problems related to phy drivers. Other
enumerable buses already have similar attributes.
