[PATCH net] Revert "net: stmmac: platform: Fix MDIO init for platforms without PHY"

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Tue Jan 07 2020 - 00:08:58 EST


This reverts commit d3e014ec7d5ebe9644b5486bc530b91e62bbf624 ("net:
stmmac: platform: Fix MDIO init for platforms without PHY") because it
breaks existing systems with stmmac which do not have a MDIO bus
sub-node nor a 'phy-handle' property declared in their Device Tree. On
those systems, the stmmac MDIO bus is expected to be created and then
scanned by of_mdiobus_register() to create PHY devices.

While these systems should arguably make use of a more accurate Device
Tree reprensentation with the use of the MDIO bus sub-node an
appropriate 'phy-handle', we cannot break them, therefore restore the
behavior prior to the said commit.

Heiko,

I did not add the Tested-by because the patch is a little bit different
from what you tested, even if you most likely were not hitting the other
part that I was changing. Thanks!
