    kernel: backport mdio_find_bus from 5.10.x
    
    mdio-tools (https://github.com/wkz/mdio-tools) requires the use of
    mdio_find_bus, which is not present in 5.4.x.
    
    This patch backports the required change from 5.10.x to 5.4.x
    
    The original patch submission for this can be found at
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20200201074625.8698-2-jeremy.linton@arm.com/

+Subject: [PATCH] mdio_bus: Add generic mdio_find_bus()
+
+It appears most ethernet drivers follow one of two main strategies
+for mdio bus/phy management. A monolithic model where the net driver
+itself creates, probes and uses the phy, and one where an external
+mdio/phy driver instantiates the mdio bus/phy and the net driver
+only attaches to a known phy. Usually in this latter model the phys
+are discovered via DT relationships or simply phy name/address
+hardcoding.
+
+This is a shame because modern well behaved mdio buses are self
+describing and can be probed. The mdio layer itself is fully capable
+of this, yet there isn't a clean way for a standalone net driver
+to attach and enumerate the discovered devices. This is because
+outside of of_mdio_find_bus() there isn't a straightforward way
+to acquire the mii_bus pointer.
+
+So, lets add a mdio_find_bus which can return the mii_bus based
+only on its name.
