I don't think this bit belongs in this patch.
Also: depends on REGMAP or select REGMAP?

It would probably be helpful to state that those who select this option
should also explicitly select REGMAP.

don't we need a header included for the MII_BUS_ID_SIZE macro?
An empty C file which includes just <linux/mdio/mdio-regmap.h> must
build without errors.
