Originally, most of the platforms using this driver did not define an mdio subnode in the devicetree. Commit e34d65 ("stmmac: create of compatible mdio bus for stmmac driver") introduced a backward compatibily issue by using of_mdiobus_register explicitly with an mdio subnode. This patch fixes the issue by calling the function mdiobus_register, when mdio subnode is not found. The driver is now compatible with both modes.
