We want to encourage driver writers to use an mdio subnode inside
there MAC node. So i wounder if this looking for the child and using
it should go into the core code?

I would also suggest putting a warning here, saying that PHYs should
be listed in the device tree.

FYI: There is a change making its way through which will mean
mdiobus_scan() will return -ENODEV where there is nothing on the bus
at that address, rather than the current NULL. You will need to adopt
this here.
