Hi Andrew,

There are indeed two mdio busses. To access the external bus, 9th bit
of the mdio register has to be set. And to enable mii function,
one has to set the registers 6 & 7 which is part of the pin controller.
Earlier the pin controller was not defined and I resorted to use a
combination of memory mapped io mux to change desired bits.

Now that we have a pin controller - which is resposnsible for other 
functionality such as pwm, i2c, uart2, it makes sense to have a consistent
device tree

Hope this helps,

Vivek
