I see. And there was a comment a while back... I believe it was
Alexandre suggested there was some of consideration in the design to
support the non-OF-based cases. I hope I'm getting a better idea of the
big picture... one piece at a time.

Yes, you suggested this early on. Thank you for guiding me down the
right path.

Safe travels!

I was really surprised about the two MDIO buses as well. My coworker
pointed this out to me right before I decided to start looking into the
external phys and probably saved me a week of datasheet shuffling / scope
probing. Especially since the MDIO bus 2 addresses are pin-strapped to 
start at 4, seemingly to not overlap the internal MDIO addresses 0-3.

And the two MDIO buses also exist in
arch/mips/boot/dts/mscc/ocelot.dtsi, so I know I'm not crazy.

I'll update the node names in my tree per your suggestion. I figured
there'd be no desire for me sharing a .dtsi for my boot-pin-modified dev
board configuration. Maybe I'm wrong, and sharing the relevant portions
in cover letters is not the right thing to do.

Thanks for explaining this. Understood.
