Properties for an MDIO bus multiplexer controlled by a memory-mapped device

This is a special case of a MDIO bus multiplexer.  A memory-mapped device,
like an FPGA, is used to control which child bus is connected.  The mdio-mux
node must be a child of the memory-mapped device.  The driver currently only
supports devices with 8, 16 or 32-bit registers.

Required properties in addition to the generic multiplexer properties:

- compatible : string, must contain "mdio-mux-mmioreg"

- reg : integer, contains the offset of the register that controls the bus
	multiplexer.  The size field in the 'reg' property is the size of
	register, and must therefore be 1, 2, or 4.

- mux-mask : integer, contains an eight-bit mask that specifies which
	bits in the register control the actual bus multiplexer.  The
	'reg' property of each child mdio-mux node must be constrained by
	this mask.

Example:

The FPGA node defines a memory-mapped FPGA with a register space of 0x30 bytes.
For the "EMI2" MDIO bus, register 9 (BRDCFG1) controls the mux on that bus.
A bitmask of 0x6 means that bits 1 and 2 (bit 0 is lsb) are the bits on
BRDCFG1 that control the actual mux.
