For this series:

Tested-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>

On bcm_sf2 (7445 and 7278) along with the externally attached BCM53125
switch that needs the special MDIO read/write divert. We properly attach
to the right PHY devices in all cases.

Also tested unbind/bind, working correctly.

Thanks!
