Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for looking at this. However, there is a high likelyhood that
this patch will break existing platforms since we haven't enforced this
requirement before. Besides, I don't think the ethernet-phy binding is
necessary. The mere fact that it is a child of the MDIO bus node means
that the device is a PHY device for the purposes of the subsystem.
