In case of_mdiobus_register_phy()/of_mdiobus_register_device() returns -ENODEV for all PHYs in device tree or for all scanned PHYs there is a chance that of_mdiobus_register() to return success code although no PHY devices were registered. Add a counter that increments every time a PHY was registered to avoid the above scenario. Signed-off-by: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Though I haven't encountered the scenario described in commit message. Just went through this code and seemed to me that it could be enhanved by checking the number of successfuly registered devices.
