Bah! Messed up the 'stg mail' command when sending this series and
the 'RFC' tag didn't get added.
This is firmly in the RFC category. Please don't apply. It doesn't
have the level of polish that I'm happy with.
This series is intended to make phy_device connecting simpler and more
robust by using the PHY's device_node as the search key when
connecting to PHY. Changes are made to both the MDIO busses to
extract the PHY data out of the device tree, and to the drivers to use
a common helper function for finding the PHY it is interested in.
Comments please.
