[PATCH 3/3] RFC: net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Register mdio-external

Make it legal to have a subnode just named "mdio-external"
and have that be recognized immediately as the external
MDIO bus, register it and return. Only fallback to the
old method with a compatible in the external bus node
if this doesn't work.

This is the result of deprecating the old DT method
of providing a node "mdio1" with a compatible string.
