Christophe JAILLET b01b59a4fa net: phy: Constify struct mdio_device_id
'struct mdio_device_id' is not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  27014	  12792	      0	  39806	   9b7e	drivers/net/phy/broadcom.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  27206	  12600	      0	  39806	   9b7e	drivers/net/phy/broadcom.o
