goto's are fine for jumping to the end of a function to unwind
allocations, but please don't use it in this manner.  The original
structure will actually work just fine if you do it thusly:

		if (!paddr || len < sizeof(*paddr) ||
		    *(addr = be32_to_cpup(paddr)) >= 32) {
			dev_err(&mdio->dev, "%s has invalid PHY address\n",
				child->full_name);
			continue;
		}

Otherwise this patch looks good. After you've reworked and retested
I'll pick it up for 2.6.37 (or dave will).
