Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next RESEND] net: dsa: OF-ware slave_mii_bus

In the last attempt, this patch was part of a doc+net series. However,
Rob Herring NAKed the binding patch as we cannot define a "mdio" node
in dsa.yaml without breaking anyone who references dsa.yaml to need to
redefine/specialize that same node.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Yhfmi2Mn6e0NMXh3@robh.at.kernel.org/

So, the generic slave "mdio" node must be declared on each device that
might use it in the future.
