It needs to, if the MDIO bus does not have an OF description through
which PHYs can have an 'interrupts' property. But if there is an OF
description for the MDIO bus and the PHYs, I think it is strange to
expect PHYs to have interrupts if they aren't described in OF.

I looked at the upstream device trees:
- users of arch/mips/boot/dts/ralink/mt7621.dtsi
- arch/arm/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2.dts
- arch/arm/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7623n-rfb-emmc.dts
- arch/arm/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7623a.dtsi
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568-bpi-r2-pro.dts
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7986a-bananapi-bpi-r3.dts
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7986a-rfb.dts
- arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7622-rfb1.dts

and without exception, none of these have the MDIO bus described in OF.
I'm not sure about other device trees. But it may well be that the
situation where "MDIO buses present in OF need an IRQ mapping for their
PHYs" does not need to be handled.
