with this patch applied I now run into issues on multiple rockchip

When probing the driver and trying to establish a connection for a nfsroot
it always runs into a null pointer in mdiobus_get_phy():

This is torvalds git head and it was still working at -rc1 and all kernels
before that. When I just revert this commit, things also start working
again, so I guess something must be wrong here?
