The referenced commit broke initializing macb on the EVB-KSZ9477 eval board. There, of_mdiobus_register was called even for the fixed-link representing the SPI-connected switch PHY, with the result that the driver attempts to enumerate PHYs on a non-existent MDIO bus:

libphy: MACB_mii_bus: probed mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: fixed-link has invalid PHY address mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 0 [snip] mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 31 macb f0028000.ethernet: broken fixed-link specification

Fixes since v1: Added one more error path for failing to register fixed-link Fixed a whitespace issue
