12   Called by drivers to attach to a particular PHY
13   device. The phy_device is found, and properly hooked up
14   to the phy_driver.  If no driver is attached, then a
15   generic driver is used.  The phy_device is given a ptr to
16   the attaching device, and given a callback for link status
17   change.  The phy_device is returned to the attaching driver.
