I still see build errors in randconfig builds and have had this
patch for a while to locally work around it:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `xgene_mdio_probe':
mux-core.c:(.text+0x352154): undefined reference to `of_mdiobus_register'
mux-core.c:(.text+0x352168): undefined reference to `mdiobus_free'
mux-core.c:(.text+0x3521c0): undefined reference to `mdiobus_alloc_size'
The idea is that CONFIG_MDIO_BUS now reflects whether the mdio_bus
code is built-in or a module, and other drivers that use the core
code can simply depend on that, instead of having a complex
dependency line.
Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs")

Submitted this version on June 22 2017 originally as RFC, resending
for inclusion this time.
Who should pick up the two patches? I guess they could go either
through netdev or the generic-phy tree, but they should stay together
as a series.

The driver attempts to 'select MDIO_DEVICE', but the code
is actually a loadable module when PHYLIB=m:
drivers/phy/broadcom/phy-bcm-ns-usb3.o: In function `bcm_ns_usb3_mdiodev_phy_write':
phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c:(.text.bcm_ns_usb3_mdiodev_phy_write+0x28): undefined reference to `mdiobus_write'

phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c:(.exit.text+0x18): undefined reference to `mdio_driver_unregister'
drivers/phy/broadcom/phy-bcm-ns-usb3.o: In function `bcm_ns_usb3_module_init':

phy-bcm-ns-usb3.c:(.init.text+0x38): undefined reference to `mdio_driver_unregister'
Using 'depends on MDIO_BUS' instead will avoid the link error.
