fixed-links are currently not handled by of_mdiobus_register,
skip them with a warning instead of trying pointlessly to find their PHY
address:
libphy: MACB_mii_bus: probed
mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: fixed-link has invalid PHY address
mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 0
[snip]
mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 31
macb f0028000.ethernet: broken fixed-link specification
