The of_device_uevent_modalias is service for 'of' type platform driver
, which ask the first args must be 'of' that use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
when driver was exported, but ethernet phy is a kind of 'mdio' type
device and it is inappropriate if driver use 'of' type for exporting,
in fact, most mainstream ethernet phy driver hasn't used 'of' type,
even though phy driver was exported use 'of' type and it's irrelevant
with mdio_uevent, at this time, platform_uevent was responsible for
reporting uevent to match modules.alias configure, so, whatever that
of_device_uevent_modalias was unnecessary, this patch was to remove it
and add phy_id as modio uevent then ethernet phy module auto load
function will work well.
