This sounds inaccurate, you're making it sound like these commits
introduced this limitation, as far as I can tell they did not.

Before the MDIO bus name was just plain "%x" and the bus_id number
was placed there.  Then it became the same thing, except with some
(potentially fixed) prefix.

Nothing about that change makes any difference whatsoever about
what you're modifications are trying to allow.

BTW, also, commit "90b9a54" is ambiguous.

[davem@bql net]$ git show 90b9a54
error: short SHA1 90b9a54 is ambiguous.
