Conflict when compiling-in CONFIG_FIXED_PHY

[Amit Kucheria]

Hi,

When CONFIG_FIXED_PHY is compiled-in along with another driver (such
as CONFIG_FEC) that makes a call to mdiobus_register(), there is a
conflict in creation of mdio_bus class with id '0' as show in the boot
log below.

I am not sure what the real fix should be - to prevent compiling-in of
FIXED_PHY with such drivers in Kconfig or a smarter mechanism to
assign the bus id (idr?).

Regards,
Amit
