This sounds inaccurate, you're making it sound like these commits introduced this limitation, as far as I can tell they did not. Before the MDIO bus name was just plain "%x" and the bus_id number was placed there. Then it became the same thing, except with some (potentially fixed) prefix. Nothing about that change makes any difference whatsoever about what you're modifications are trying to allow. BTW, also, commit "90b9a54" is ambiguous.
