Registering our slave MDIO bus outside of the OF infrastructure is necessary in order to avoid creating double references of the same Device Tree nodes, however it is not sufficient to guarantee that the MDIO bus diversion is used because of_phy_connect() will still resolve to a valid PHY phandle and it will connect to the PHY using its parent MDIO bus which is still the SF2 master MDIO bus.
Ensure that of_phy_connect() does not suceed by removing any phandle reference for the PHY we need to divert. This forces the DSA code to use the DSA slave_mii_bus that we register and ensures the MDIO diversion is being used.
