The driver used the DT node of the device itself when registering the
MDIO bus. While this works, it creates a problem: it forces any MDIO bus
properties to also be set on the devices DT node. This mixes the
properties of two distinctly different things and is confusing.
This change adds support for an optional mdio node to be defined as a
child to the device DT node. The child node can then be used to describe
MDIO bus properties that the MDIO core can act on when registering the
bus.
If no mdio child node is found the driver fallback to the old behavior
and register the MDIO bus using the device DT node. This change is
backward compatible with old bindings in use.
