Hi Maxim

Anybody who knows the MDIO-mux code/binding, knows that it is a run
time mux. You swap the mux per MDIO transaction. You can access all
the PHY and switches on the mux'ed MDIO bus.

However here, it is effectively a boot-time MUX. You cannot change it
on the fly. What happens when somebody has a phandle to a PHY on the
internal and a phandle to a phy on the external? Does the driver at
least return -EINVAL, or -EBUSY? Is there a representation which
eliminates this possibility?
