It's kind of questionable, if we have an error initializing one of our
child MDIO bus controller (child from the perspective of the MDIO mux,
boy this is getting complicated...), should we keep on going, or should
we abort entirely and rollback what we have successfully registered?

I don't think Julia's patch makes thing worse, in that if we had to
rollback, we would not be doing this correctly now anyway.

Jon, what do you think?
