All I am saying is that there is not really any need to come up with a
Device Tree-based solution since you can inspect the mdio_device and
find out whether it is an Ethernet PHY or a MDIO device proper, and that
ought to cover all cases that I can think of.

Okay, but where's the problem? I guess we're on the same page, and
you're saying that we should not be calling bcma_mdio_mii_register, and
assigning the result to bgmac->mii_bus, because that makes us call
bcma_phy_connect instead of bgmac_phy_connect_direct. But based on what
condition? Simply if bgmac->phyaddr == BGMAC_PHY_NOREGS?

Yes simply that condition, I really believe it ought to be enough for
the space these devices are in use.
