Re: [PATCH] netdev/phy: skip disabled mdio-mux nodes

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.

Mr. Miller,

Any chance this patch can get into 3.6?  I don't know if it qualifies
as a fix or not, but getting it into 3.6 would make it easier for me
to apply other patches to the powerpc tree.
