Accesses to the mdio busses must be done with the mdio_lock to ensure
proper operation.  Conveniently we have the helper function
mdiobus_read() to do that for us.  Lets use it in get_phy_id() instead
of accessing the bus without the lock held.

This patch is causing me problems, but I'm not exactly certain how.
The problems only appear when I add some unrelated code to my platform
file (p1022ds.c), but the trap is definitely in the phy code:

Fixed MDIO Bus: probed
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

I'm still trying to narrow down what's causing the problem, but when I
revert this patch, I don't see these traps.

Sometimes, I don't get the trap, but I get a hang on this line:

int mdiobus_read(struct mii_bus *bus, int addr, u32 regnum)
{
	int retval;

	BUG_ON(in_interrupt());

--->	mutex_lock(&bus->mdio_lock);
