Without a Device Tree enabled platform, you still have the
fixed_phy_add() API to register a fixed PHY at a known location (the
second parameter), did we someone broke that with Thomas' patches?

You could for instance register a fixed PHY at address 1 for the
GENET/MoCA instance to find it.

Other than that, I am not opposed to the change, since it allows us to
eventually get rid of fixed_phy_add() in the future.

Thanks!
