The mdio-mux driver scans all child mdio nodes, without regard to whether
the node is actually used.  Some device trees include all possible
mdio-mux nodes and rely on the boot loader to disable those that are not
present, based on some run-time configuration.  Those nodes need to be
skipped.

Although this will get the job done, I don't think it is the cleanest 
approach.

Would it be better to create a new iterator 
(for_each_available_child_of_node perhaps) that skips the unavailable 
nodes?  This seems like a general problem that is not restricted to mdio 
multiplexers.
