Add paging support to the QCA AR8031/33 PHY. This will be needed if we
add support for the .config_inband_aneg callback, see series [1].
The driver itself already accesses the fiber page (without proper locking).
The former version of this patchset converted the access to
phy_read_paged(), but Vladimir Oltean mentioned that it is dead code.
Therefore, the second patch will just remove it.
changes since v1:
- second patch will remove at803x_aneg_done() altogether

I'm pretty sure net-next is closed now, since David sent the pull
request, and I didn't come to a conclusion yet regarding the final
form of the phy_config_inband_aneg method either.

Yeah I wasn't sure. http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html says
it is still open. But anyway, if not, I'll resend the patch after
the merge window. I've also thought about splitting it into two
individual patches, because they aren't dependent on each other
anymore.
We'll need the page support anyway, even if phy_config_inband_aneg
will change. Ok granted, the cover letter might be misleading then.

It is closed now, so this will have to be deferred.
Thanks.
