net: phy: tja11xx: add cable-test support

Browse source

Add initial cable testing support.
This PHY needs only 100usec for this test and it is recommended to run it
before the link is up. For now, provide at least ethtool support, so it
can be tested by more developers.

This patch was tested with TJA1102 PHY with following results:
- No cable, is detected as open
- 1m cable, with no connected other end and detected as open
- a 40m cable (out of spec, max lenght should be 15m) is detected as OK.

Current patch do not provide polarity test support. This test would
indicate not proper wire connection, where "+" wire of main phy is
connected to the "-" wire of the link partner.
