I think you still have the same problem, as you can still have the
boardinfo registration in a loadable module.
I have come up with a patch too now and done some randconfig testing
on it (it took me several tries as well), please see below. It does
some of the same things as yours and some others.
The main trick is to have a separate 'MDIO_BOARDINFO' Kconfig symbol
that can be selected regardless of all the other symbols, and that
will lead to the registration being either built-in when it's needed
or not built at all when either no board calls it, or PHYLIB is
disabled.

Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] move ethernet PHY config into drivers/phy/Kconfig
Calling mdiobus_register_board_info from builtin code with CONFIG_PHYLIB=m
currently results in a link error:
arch/arm/plat-orion/common.o: In function `orion_ge00_switch_init':
common.c:(.init.text+0x6a4): undefined reference to `mdiobus_register_board_info'
As the long-term strategy is to separate mdio from phylib, and to get generic-phy
and (networking-only) phylib closer together, this performs a first step in that
direction: The Kconfig file for phylib gets logically pulled under the PHY
driver configuration and becomes independent from networking. This lets us
select the new CONFIG_MDIO_BOARDINFO from platforms that need it, and provide
the functions exactly when we need them.
In the same step, we can also split out the MDIO driver configuration from
phylib. This is based on an older experimental patch I had, but it still
requires some code changes in phylib itself to let users actually rely on
MDIO without all of PHYLIB.
