Hello For dwmac-sun8i, we need to set a MDIO mux which is not itself a device (it is part of a device but have its own DT node)
This patch permit to use a MDIO mux for such case. See agreement at https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/29/407 Since all mdio_mux_init() users are within drivers/net/phy/ and the changes are trivial, I have done all in one patch, instead of having a complex series of patch converting one by one callers. This patch is a dependency for restoring dwmac-sun8i so it is why I target "net:" But I send it alone, for be sure that this conversion in one patch is acceptable.
