MDIO buses enumerate firmware children only when the bus is registered. A
later devicetree overlay or status transition is ignored, unlike on I2C and
SPI buses. Supporting live reconfiguration also means that population and
removal can race address scanning, PHY attachment and bus teardown.
Please make the bootloader work around the issues, and drop this
patchset.
This is just fixing OF_DYNAMIC for mdio now, it's no longer used
by the AC200/AC300 PHY patches anymore.
Meaning it has no users?
We don't add code unless it has a user. To do so pointlessly adds
Maintenance burden.
