If a driver uses fixed_phy_add() directly, it then has to call
get_phy_device() and phy_device_register() as well. But, all that is
already handled nicely inside fixed_phy_register(). And,
fixed_phy_register() also handles the fixed PHY address allocation
automatically.
In my opinion, this change makes it really easy to use fixed PHYs from
non-OF code, as I showed in the change description.
