[   18.175379] mdio_bus stmmac-0: /soc/ethernet@1c30000/mdio/mdio-mux has invalid PHY address
[   18.175408] mdio_bus stmmac-0: scan phy mdio-mux at address 0

Since mdio-mux nodes are not PHY, this patch a way to to not scan
them.
Hi Corentin

I still don't like this, but ...
Me neither, even more so as I don't understand the reasoning behind
putting the mux as a child node of the MDIO bus controller in the first
place.

Also, you need to re-order patches such that this patch comes before the
DTS changes.

Please rename this to some less generic. What i don't want is other
compatible strings added here. We want to make the exception for
muxes, but nothing else. So something like compatible_muxes?
