Well, the MDIO bus must have an associated device tree node.

For my OCTEON code, the MDIO bus device is created as a result of the
call to of_platform_bus_probe(), which takes care of filling in all the
device tree nodes of the devices it finds and creates.

Ok, let me give you some background.  We actually already have MDIO muxing
code in-house, but it's different from yours.  So now I'm rewriting it to
use your design instead.

So our current code looks for "virtual MDIO nodes", and we call
mdiobus_alloc() and then of_mdiobus_register().  I think this is what I'm
missing now.

I just don't know what to do next.

You will have to debug it and find out why the device match is failing, 
then fix it.
