Add support for accessing PHYs via a side MDIO interface in LAN937x switches. The existing code already supports accessing PHYs via main management interfaces, which can be SPI, I2C, or MDIO, depending on the chip variant. This patch enables using a side MDIO bus, where SPI is used for the main switch configuration and MDIO for managing the integrated PHYs. On LAN937x, this is optional, allowing them to operate in both configurations: SPI only, or SPI + MDIO. Typically, the SPI interface is used for switch configuration, while MDIO handles PHY management. Additionally, update interrupt controller code to support non-linear port to PHY address mapping, enabling correct interrupt handling for configurations where PHY addresses do not directly correspond to port indexes. This change ensures that the interrupt mechanism properly aligns with the new, flexible PHY address mappings introduced by side MDIO support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
