The driver started being DT-only from the get go, however it was also my 
group's first attempt at upstreaming a driver and we did not get 
everything right in terms of the DT binding. In particular there was no 
"mdio" sub-node initially, but we still wanted to be able to split up 
the MDIO controller part since we knew it was going to be re-used in 
other designs (bcm_sf2 and later asp2). The platform device was the best 
we could come up with at the time.

All of our DTBs deployed out there do not have a "clocks" property 
within the "mdio" sub-mode of the GENET Ethernet node, so that is why we 
are doing this.

Thanks!
