Ok, so you probably followed Thomas's example here with mvneta/mvmdio,
but all other MDIO bus drivers live in drivers/net/phy. Unfortunately,
mvmdio lives in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvmdio.c which I should
have noticed before. Whatever is good for you guys, but we should
probably start normalizing this now before more mdio drivers get
merged alongside their corresponding ethernet MAC users.
