Originally, most of the platforms using this driver did not define an mdio subnode
in the devicetree. Commit e34d65 ("stmmac: create of compatible mdio bus for stmmac driver")
introduced a backward compatibily issue by using of_mdiobus_register explicitly
with an mdio subnode. This patch fixes the issue by calling the function
mdiobus_register, when mdio subnode is not found. The driver is now compatible
with both modes.

Looks reasonable to me, though you will want to make sure the different DTSes get updated to include the proper compatible node for the MDIO bus.

Please include a Fixes tag to help keep track of changes.

You should be able to drop the IS_ENABLED part since there is an inline provided in the non-OF case which does a fallback to mdiobus_register().

This looks reasonable, does it work if we just assign mdio_node to the pdev->dev.of_node to be backwards compatible with DTSes which have not yet been updated?

Sure, sorry for my ignorance, but I did not know that we're supposed
to add a Fixes tag in this situation.

I don't understand what you mean. Instead of defining mdio_node with
NULL, you propose to assign it to pdev->dev.of_node as its default
value... then it would be reassigned with "child_nod" if a subnode
with the compatible string "snps,dwmac-mdio" is found, or kept with
its default value otherwise... and in this case we could call
of_mdiobus_register(new_bus, mdio_node) all the time ? (it removes the
conditonnal branch)

Romain

It is a good practice and definitively helps making sure that if
regression entered a merge window, and a fix came in another merge
window, people can easily backport the fix, moving on..

Your understanding is correct, this is what I was suggesting, thanks

So in this case, I already tested this yesterday, it does not work,
basically because the for loop just after of_mdiobus_register is never
executed, probably because new_bus->phy_map is not populated, which is
not the case by calling mdiobus_register for example.
of_mdiobus_register seems to populate this array of phys only for
subnodes found in the devicetree...

Regards,
Romain

Fair enough, then you initial patch with dropping IS_ENABLED() and
adding a "Fixes" tag should be resubmitted.

Thank you
