The MDIO registers for the mv643xx_eth hardware are the same as the
ones for the mvneta hardware. Therefore, I've splitted this into the
mvmdio driver (available in mainline since 3.8,
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell). This allows to have a nicely separated
driver for the MDIO interface.

My plan was ultimately to modify the mv643xx_eth driver to use the
mvmdio driver, and then do a nice DT binding on top of that.

Does this sounds like a good plan?

Best regards,

Thomas
