However, there are lots of type/cast warnings in both mdio-octeon and mdio-cavium:

cavium_mdiobus.register_base should be "void __iomem *" instead of "u64",
and the cast should be dropped.

In file included from ../drivers/net/phy/mdio-octeon.c:14:0:
../drivers/net/phy/mdio-cavium.h:113:48: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

                                                ^

... which allows to drop this cast as well.

Casts are evil, and usually a sign that you're doing something wrong.
