[PATCH net] net: stmmac: Handle disabled MDIO busses from devicetree

[Andrew Halaney]

Many hardware configurations have the MDIO bus disabled, and are instead
using some other MDIO bus to talk to the MAC's phy.

of_mdiobus_register() returns -ENODEV in this case. Let's handle it
gracefully instead of failing to probe the MAC.
