That's the case on MIPS-based SoCs actually.

Yes, this is applying workarounds to the integrated PHYs, the plan is to
move that to a proper PHY driver so we can get rid of that.

Probably should be there, keep in mind this driver was mostly reverse
engineered, from an internal code base which usually did not plan on
utilizing existing APIs.

Usually this is only relevant for an external PHY, and Jon is just
moving code around without making functional changes to existing BCMA
code, so all of that can be changed at a later time.

This is just moving the code around for now.
I don't think of_mdiobus_register() is going to be used at all, because
on the ARM-based BCM5301X SoCs that use Device Tree, we have yet to see
a platform which requires this MDIO bus driver, all PHYs are internal,
and hanging off the switch register access block.
On MIPS-based BCM53xx/47xx, we need this driver to drive the external
switches, but those are not Device Tree aware, nor is there a need to
make that happen.
And, to re-iterate all of your points are valid, but this is premature
