Hi Linus

You might want to work on the MDIO code first. It is O.K. to do
something like:

np = NULL;

if (dev->of_node)
        np = of_get_child_by_name(dev->of_node, "mdio");

of_mdiobus_register(np, mdio_bus)

If np is NULL, it will fall back to mdiobus_register().

Then here you can do the correct

priv->phy_node = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "phy-handle", 0);

and later call 

       phy = of_phy_connect(ndev, priv->phy_node, &ixp4xx_adjust_link,
                           PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_MII);

You just need to watch out for the -EPROBE_DEFFERED.
