It was an attempt at getting rid of the mdio group since the PHY is
effectively managed by the Ethernet hardware. The problem is that the
reg field must contain those values ... if I change this, I must change
the driver and other boards DTS files that depend on it which I would
rather not do at the same time I am pushing this patch through.

I will put back the mdio group and add a reg field to it as you
suggested previously.
