Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next v2 03/11] net: mdio: fwnode: remove legacy phy scanning

When 'reg' property is missing from child MDIO nodes, an automatic scan
is done to find phy devices that are present on the bus. Since the
'reg' property is marked as required in the mdio.yaml bindings, remove
this legacy scan mechanism.
