Starting with commit 1a136ca2e089 ("net: mdio: scan bus based on bus
capabilities for C22 and C45"), mdiobus_scan_bus_c45() is being called on
buses with MDIOBUS_NO_CAP. On a Turris Omnia (Armada 385, 88E6176 switch),
this causes a significant increase of boot time, from 1.6 seconds, to 6.3
seconds. The boot time stated here is until start of /init.

Further testing revealed that the C45 scan is indeed expensive (around
2.7 seconds, due to a huge number of bus transactions), and called twice.

Two things were suggested:
(1) to move the expensive call of mv88e6xxx_mdios_register() from
    mv88e6xxx_probe() to mv88e6xxx_setup().
(2) to mask apparently non-existing phys during probing.

Before that:
Patch #1 prepares the driver to handle the movement of
mv88e6xxx_mdios_register() to mv88e6xxx_setup() for cross-chip DSA trees.
Patch #2 is preparatory code movement, without functional change.

With those changes, boot time on the Turris Omnia is back to normal.

Changes in v2:
Add cover letter
Extend the cleanup in mv88e6xxx_setup() to remove the mdio bus on failure 
Add patch "mask apparently non-existing phys during probing"

Changes in v3:
Add patch "don't dispose of Global2 IRQ mappings from mdiobus code"
