Document the ability to add nodes for the MDIO bus connecting the

This is quite interesting. Currently the PHY muxing feature for the
MT7530 switch looks for some fake ethernet-phy definitions on the
mdio-bus where the switch is also defined.

Looking at the binding here, there will be an mdio node under the switch
node. This could be useful to define the ethernet-phys for PHY muxing
here instead, so we don't waste the register addresses on the parent
mdio-bus for fake things. It looks like this should work right out of
the box. I will do some tests.

Once I start using the mdio node it forces me to define all the PHYs which
were defined as ports.

Try setting ds->slave_mii_bus to the MDIO bus you register via
of_mdiobus_register().

That seems to be the case already, under mt7530_setup_mdio():

	bus = devm_mdiobus_alloc(dev);
	if (!bus)
		return -ENOMEM;

	ds->slave_mii_bus = bus;

The bus is registered with devm_of_mdiobus_register(), if that matters. (My current knowledge about OF or OF helpers for MDIO is next to nothing.)

The same behaviour is there.
