Thank you for letting us know. Not sure if related, but I just found
out that this code won't compile for the !CONFIG_FWNODE_MDIO. Below
one-liner fixes it:

--- a/include/linux/fwnode_mdio.h
+++ b/include/linux/fwnode_mdio.h
@@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ static inline int fwnode_mdiobus_register(struct mii_bus *bus,
         * This way, we don't have to keep compat bits around in drivers.
         */

-       return mdiobus_register(mdio);
+       return mdiobus_register(bus);
 }
 #endif

I'm curious if this is the case. Tomorrow I'll resubmit with above, so
I'd appreciate recheck.

Thanks,
Marcin
