[ Upstream commit 5f5c5449acad0cd3322e53e1ac68c044483b0aa5 ]
The MDIO initialization failure message is printed using the network device, before it has been registered, leading to:
(null): failed to initialise MDIO
Use the platform device instead to fix this:
sh-eth ee700000.ethernet: failed to initialise MDIO
