One thing off my todo list. I'd started this ages ago[1].

of_mdio.c is really a combination of mdio and phylib functions, so it
should be split up IMO. With that, I think you can get rid of
CONFIG_OF_MDIO. See my branch[1] for what I had in mind. But that can
be done after this if the net maintainers prefer.
