The imx6sl-evk board has a LAN8720A ethernet phy supported by SMSC_PHY.
Add this driver to the default imx config since the device is present on
one of the evaluation boards.
This used to work mostly fine with the generic phy driver but since
commit 0878fff1f42c18e448ab5b8b4f6a3eb32365b5b6 that driver no longer
performs a soft reset on startup. This causes netboot to sometimes
timeout on DHCP because RX doesn't work right. DHCP is eventually retried and
it works the second time but it takes 90+ seconds to get a login prompt.
This was generated with "make savedefconfig" and it includes a few
additional minor cleanups.

I also tried to do some debugging in the fec driver and it apparently receives
corrupted packets when this happens. If I hack it to go into promiscuous mode
unconditionally it gets a whole bunch of rx errors (crc errors, length errors
and so on). So the phy config is probably wrong and is confusing the mac?
In theory it might be possible to make that driver "just work" with phy
settings from uboot but it's not clear it's worthwhile.

Upstream currently no evaluation board support.
This may leave to Shawn to decide whether apply it.

I guess you should get a checkpatch error here.

Probably another checkpatch warning.

It is a bit strange, after apply your patch, i still get a lot difference
as follows when savedefconfig:

Really? But the dts for this eval board is included in upstream. Shouldn't the
default config try to work with the default imx*.dts files included?

Because I didn't reference that other commit right? Sorry about this.
Should I submit again with an improved commit message?

Why, line too long?

Maybe, kconfig acts strangely sometimes. It's not clear option ordering is
guaranteed to be stable. I don't think it matters though.

Yes, please, and make sure that checkpatch.pl is happy about the patch.
