Subject: [PATCH 09/15] net: ftgmac100: Always register the MDIO bus when it
 exists

From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>

Both the Aspeed 2400 and 2500 and the original faraday version of the
MAC have MDIO bus controllers as part of the MAC. Since it exists,
always registering it makes the code simpler, and causes no harm. If
there is no mdio node in device tree, of_mdiobus_register() will fall
back to mdiobus_register(), making it safe.
