I didn't notice until now (bad me - I've actually been taking a few
days off due to xmas), but this causes a new warning in some
configurations.

In particular, it causes a warning about

   'of_mdiobus_child_is_phy' defined but noy used

because when CONFIG_OF_MDIO is disabled, the <linux/of_mdio.h> header now has

  static bool of_mdiobus_child_is_phy(struct device_node *child)
  {
         return false;
  }

which is all kinds of stupid.

I'm assuming that dummy function should just be marked "inline", the
way the other helper dummy functions are defined when OF_MDIO is not
enabled.
