Yes, that would work, by the time config_init() executes, you are
guaranteed to have a valid attached_dev pointer.

I think we should fix these drivers to look for these properties where
they were used to, as a short term plan, and then make sure that their
binding document is very specific about the fact that these properties,
are by definition, properties of the Ethernet PHY, not the Ethernet MAC.
