Hi Claudiu

Please document this in the device tree binding.

I'm not sure you want a dev_err() here. The device tree binding allows
you to have a phy node without a reg value. When that happens, the
core code will scan all 32 addresses to find the PHY. This is going to
spam the log. dev_dbg() might be better.
