Looks reasonable to me, though you will want to make sure the different DTSes 
get updated to include the proper compatible node for the MDIO bus.

Please include a Fixes tag to help keep track of changes.

You should be able to drop the IS_ENABLED part since there is an inline 
provided in the non-OF case which does a fallback to mdiobus_register().

This looks reasonable, does it work if we just assign mdio_node to the 
pdev->dev.of_node to be backwards compatible with DTSes which have not yet been 
updated?
