Subject: [PATCH] net: mdio: of_mdio: check for already registered phy before creating new instances

In of_mdiobus_register_phy(), check if the phy with the given address is
already registered within the mii bus before calling phy_device_create()
or get_phy_device().

This allows us to augment auto-probed phy devices with extra information
via DT. Without this patch, a second instance of the phydev is created
unnecessarily.
