> Agree with you my intention is if there is a MDIO bus on the device-tree > The MAC driver should create PHY/MDIO devices using of_mdiobus_register(). What you suggest is better, and is similar to what other drivers use. In order to keep backwards compatibility with phy nodes in the MAC node, you have to do of_mdiobus_register() with the MAC node. However, please change the binding documentation to say this is deprecated, all phy nodes should be placed inside an mdio node. Using some better variable names would also help. mac_np and mdio_np for example.
