Title:
  ThunderX: support alternative phy implementations

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Different implementations of ThunderX use different underlying phys.
  The driver currently fakes a hard dependency on one of these phy
  drivers to make sure it gets loaded (mdio-octeon) - but changes have
  landed upstream to switch this over to deferred probing, so that
  devices can be discovered as the other possible phy drivers get
  initialized. These phy drivers also need to be made available at
  install time.
