Add support for an MDIO bus multiplexer controlled by a simple memory-mapped
device, like an FPGA.  The device must be memory-mapped and contain only
8-bit registers (which keeps things simple).

Why not add the following here:

	#address-cells = <1>:
	#size-cells = <1>;
	ranges = <...>;

I forgot to add them in the txt file.  They are in the real device tree.

Then, that'd have to be <9 1>;

Actually, I had #size-cells = <0>.

That way, ...

You could simplify all that into just "of_iomap(np, 0)", and all the
address translation etc. happens entirely automatically, in the standard
fashion for DT.

Ah!  You're right.  I don't need to look for the parent node.  Duh.
