in fact, most mainstream ethernet phy driver hasn't used 'of' type,
even though phy driver was exported use 'of' type and it's irrelevant
with mdio_uevent, at this time, platform_uevent was responsible for
reporting uevent to match modules.alias configure, so, whatever that
of_device_uevent_modalias was unnecessary, this patch was to remove it
and add phy_id as modio uevent then ethernet phy module auto load
function will work well.
NAK.
