Yes, its due to the fact that the MDIO node is missing. Should we have 
in mind to add an MDIO node under the macb node, where we could add the 
PHY nodes? The macb bindings don't seem to require the PHY nodes 
directly under the macb node, but the compatibility with the deprecated 
feature needs to be maintained.
