After module compilation, module alias mechanism will generate a ugly

is to fixup mdio alias garbled code.

In addition, that ugly alias configure will cause ethernet phy module
doens't match udev, phy module auto-load is fail, but add this patch
that it is well mdio driver alias configure match phy device uevent.
What PHY do you have problems with? What is the PHY id and which
driver should be loaded.

This code has existed a long time, so suddenly saying it is wrong and
changing it needs a good explanation why it is wrong. Being ugly is
not a good reason.
