In fact, this same piece of hardware has a dedicated driver inside
drivers/net/mdio/mdio-mscc-miim.c. The only problem is that it doesn't
work with regmap, and especially not with a caller-supplied regmap. I
was too lazy to do that, but it is probably what should have been done.

By comparison, felix_vsc9959.c was coded up to work with an internal
MDIO bus whose ops are implemented by another driver (enetc_mdio). Maybe
you could take that as an example and have mdio-mscc-miim.c drive both
seville and ocelot.
