Well, maybe I misunderstood the argument with DT completely, so I gave it a try:

--- a/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/chip.c
+++ b/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/chip.c
@@ -3797,6 +3797,7 @@ static int mv88e6xxx_mdio_register(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip,
        bus->read_c45 = mv88e6xxx_mdio_read_c45;

        bus->parent = chip->dev;

I hope this is what you had in mind?
