You forgot to increase the size of the 'modid' storage there, and it
needed to grow by one character. But that's OK. I forgot that
request_module() takes printf-style arguments. So now I've killed the
temporary 'modid' buffer altogether, and I just call
request_module(MDIO_MODULE_PREFIX ...). I dropped the ifdef, too.

Still tempted to add a %b format to the kernel's printf... some runtimes
have it.

That last sentence is a lie; I removed it. file2alias.c just ignores the
last entry in the array regardless of what it contains. I have no idea
why we use a 'terminator' in these arrays. Legacy, perhaps?

I made that 'do_mdio_entry()' for cosmetic reasons.

And that "mdio", not "phy", so that it works.
