This is at the wrong spot. The problem is up a level where the $nodename 
matched mdio-mux-emi1@54.

I think what we want for the $nodename pattern is:

'^mdio(-(bus|external))?(@.+|-([0-9]+))$'

There's lots of pinctrl nodes named 'mdio...' we need to avoid and we 
aren't currently.

I'd prefer not to support 'mdio-external', but there's already 1 
documented case. I think the only node name fix we'd need with this is 
'mdio-gpio' which should be just 'mdio' or 'mdio-N' like all other 
bitbanged implementations.
