Yes, its due to the fact that the MDIO node is missing. Should we have
in mind to add an MDIO node under the macb node, where we could add the
PHY nodes? The macb bindings don't seem to require the PHY nodes
directly under the macb node, but the compatibility with the deprecated
feature needs to be maintained.

Codrin
