I posted this as RFC since this series uses _label_ and initially Felipe 
din't want to find PHYs by _label_.
After the device names are created using PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO, our 
original method of binding by device names doesn't work reliable (since 
the device name changes). And I couldn't think of any other way to find 
the PHY other than using _label_. So I just wanted to know if it's ok to 
use _label_ or if there is any other better way to find PHYs.

Thanks for testing this. I'll post a new version removing RFC after 
Felipe ACKs it.

Thanks
