If there is no dependency on the two devices through the device model (i.e they don't have a parent->child relationship), then the mv643xx_eth driver should probably return -EPROBE_DEFER when it can't find its PHY so that its ->probe() operation gets called once again by the kernel when other drivers (including mvmdio) have been probed.
