Ok, let me give you some background. We actually already have MDIO muxing
code in-house, but it's different from yours. So now I'm rewriting it to
use your design instead.
So our current code looks for "virtual MDIO nodes", and we call
mdiobus_alloc() and then of_mdiobus_register(). I think this is what I'm
missing now.
I just don't know what to do next. Part of the problem is that I don't
have much experience with MDIO drivers.

Ok, that makes sense.

I only gave you part of the device tree. Here's my mdio mux node:
mdio-mux {
compatible = "mdio-mux-gpio";
gpios = <&gpio0 0 0>, <&gpio0 1 0>;
mdio-parent-bus = <&mdio0>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
mdio at 2 {
reg = <2>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
phy21: ethernet-phy at 1 {
reg = <1>;
// compatible = "marvell,88e1149r", "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
marvell,reg-init = <3 0x10 0 0x5777>,
<3 0x11 0 0x00aa>,
<3 0x12 0 0x4105>,
<3 0x13 0 0x0a60>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpio0>;
// interrupts = <10 8>; /* Pin 10, active low */
};
};
};
};
