net: phy: Introduce PHY_ID_SIZE — minimum size for PHY ID string
The PHY_ID_FMT defines the format specifier "%s:%02x" to form the PHY ID string, where the maximum of the first part is defined in MII_BUS_ID_SIZE, including NUL terminator, and the second part is implied to be 3 as the maximum address is limited to 32, meaning that 2 hex digits is more than enough, plus ':' (colon) delimiter. However, some drivers, which are using PHY_ID_FMT, customise buffer size and do that incorrectly. Introduce a new constant PHY_ID_SIZE that makes the minimum required size explicit, so drivers are encouraged to use it.
