The MDIO bus is responsible for probing and registering its respective children, such as PHYs or other kind of devices. It is required that ACPI scan code should not enumerate such devices, leaving this task for the generic MDIO bus routines, which are initiated by the controller driver.
I suppose the question is, should you ignore the ACPI way of doing
things, or embrace the ACPI way?
At least please add a comment why the ACPI way is wrong, despite this
being an ACPI binding.
