Hello,

this is v5 of series adding support for RollBall/Hilink SFP modules.

Checked with:
  checkpatch.pl --max-line-length=80

Changes from v4:
- added patch adding SFP_PASSWORD = 0x7b to sfp.h
- patch adding RollBall MDIO I2C protocol support
  - removed forgotten comment that was no longer true
  - we now try to restore the page if the I2C transfer failed
  - unfortunately we cannot simply move the code to do paged I2C
    transfers to sfp.c, because sfp.c depends on code inmdio-i2c.c,
    and if we added dependency the other way, I don't know what
    would happen to module loader (since both SFP and MDIO_I2C can
    be compiled as modules).
    This can be refactored later, when someone needs paged I2C
    accesses in sfp.c
- added Reviewed-by tags

Changes from v3:
- RollBall mdio-i2c driver now sets/restores SFP_PAGE for every MDIO
  access.
  I first wanted to achieve this operation (setting
  SFP_PAGE/doing MDIO/restoring SFP_PAGE) via one call do i2c_transfer,
  by constructing msgs array in such a way, but it turned out that this
  doesn't work on RollBall SFPs, because changed SFP_PAGE takes into
  account only after i2c_transfer ends.
  So instead I use i2c_lock_bus/serveral __i2c_transfers/i2c_unlock_bus.
- I have removed the patch which changes MACTYPE in the marvell10g
  driver, since Russell has in his net-queue a better solution. I still
  think that my patch would have sufficed temporarily (and would not
  cause regressions), but nobody wanted to review it. If you think that
  I should sent this series again with that patch, please let me know.

Changes from v2:
- added comment into the patch adding support for RollBall I2C MDIO
  protocol, saying that we expect the SFP_PAGE not to be changed by
  the SFP code, as requested by Russell. If, in the future, SFP code
  starts modifying SFP_PAGE, we will have to handle it in mdio-i2c
  somehow
- destruction of I2C MDIO bus in patch 3/5 now depends on whether the
  MDIO bus is not NULL, instead of whether PHY exists, as suggested by
  Russell
- changed waiting time for RollBall module to initialize from 30 seconds
  to 25 seconds. Testing shows that it is never longer than 21-22
  seconds, so waiting 25 seconds instead of 30 is IMO safe enough
- added Russell's Reviewed-by tags where relevant

Changes from v1:
- wrapped to 80 columns as per Russell's request
- initialization of RollBall MDIO I2C protocol moved from sfp.c to
  mdio-i2c.c as per Russell's request
- second patch removes the 802.3z check also from phylink_sfp_config
  as suggested by Russell
- creation/destruction of mdiobus for SFP now occurs before probing
  for PHY/after releasing PHY (as suggested by Russell)
- the last patch became a little simpler after the above was done
