The current fwnode_mdio.c don't provide the proper helper functions yet.
Instead the parsing is spread between fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy() and
fwnode_mdiobus_phy_device_register(). Of course these can be extracted
and exported but I don't see the benefit. IMHO it just cause jumping
around files and since fwnode is a proper firmware abstraction we could
use is directly wihin core/lib files.

I know and I thought about adding the firmware parsing helpers first but
than I went this way. I can split this of course to make the patch
smaller.
