If we were unable to detect a PHY on any of the MDIO bus id we tried instead of bailing out with -ENODEV, assume the MAC is connected to a switch and use MDIO bus 0. This unbreaks quite a lot of devices out there whose switch cannot be detected. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> ---
