deprecate PHYSDEV* keys
deprecate PHYSDEV* values in the uevent environment
These values are no longer needed and inconsistent with the
stacking of class devices. The event environment should not
carry properties of a parent device. The key PHYSDEVDRIVER is
available as DRIVER, PHYDEVBUS is indentical SUBSYSTEM. Class
devices should not carry any of these values.
