If the new ethtool operation is supported, then use it to verify that the PHC
selected by the user is correct. If the user doesn't specify a PHC and ethtool
is supported then automatically select the PHC device.
If the user specifies a PHC device, and the ethtool operation is suppported,
automatically confirm that the PHC device requested is correct. This check is
performed for all ports, in order to verify that a boundary clock setup is
valid.
The check for PHC device validity is not done in the transport because the
only thing necessary for performing the check is the port name. Handled this
in the port_open code instead.

This change will make it easier to extend the configuration file contents
to include arbitrary new data structures.

Now that we have the master code in place, there is no longer any need
to restrict ourselves.
