Sure, the usual model we had before Thomas' patches was to specifically
format phy_id to make sure we would bind to the "fixed-0" MDIO bus
instead of another one, see drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpmac.c for instance.

Agreed, and I think it will allow us to get rid of the manual allocation
API eventually.
I let Thomas comment on whether he likes this or not.
