version all

The same, followed by the chips this SDK build supports, the variant drivers and the PHYs. The chips come in two Chips: lists: first the older chip families, among them BCM56870_A0 (Trident 3), with blank lines where a family is compiled out, then the newer families. all must be spelt out; any other argument prints the usage.
