This is nearly identical to macb_mii_probe(), can you try to re-use what
is done there and just extract the phy_find_first() part which is
different here?

Humm, I'd have to read the code a bit more, but conceptually, you could
declare child MDIO device nodes (e.g: Ethernet switch) and a fixed-link
that describes how you are connecting to that Ethernet switch. The MDIO
devices require the MDIO bus to be available, so I don't think you can
treat fixed-link as mutually exclusive with an absence of PHY nodes.
