Hi Maxime,

I'm sorry, but I think you need an extra patch added to this series.
Looking at include/linux/mdio/mdio-regmap.h, that defines:

struct mdio_regmap_config {
        struct device *parent;
        struct regmap *regmap;
        char name[MII_BUS_ID_SIZE];
        u8 valid_addr;
        bool autoscan;
};

In dwmac-socfpga.c, you have:

                struct mdio_regmap_config mrc;

                mrc.regmap = pcs_regmap;
                mrc.parent = &pdev->dev;
                mrc.valid_addr = 0x0;

                snprintf(mrc.name, MII_BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s-pcs-mii", ndev->name);

So that's a tick for parent, tick for regmap, tick for name, tick
for valid_addr, but... autoscan is left uninitialised.
devm_mdio_regmap_register() reads this, and uses it to decide
how to set mii->phy_mask, which will be randomly ~0 or ~BIT(0)
depending on the value of mrc.autoscan.

Other than that, the series looks good. Thanks.
