I am afraid this is another situation where the driver is not fully
using the OF description ... the PHY registers address is hard-coded in
drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c. In any case I will add the reg property, and
later on can try to modify the driver to make use of it.

This is a static bus with chip selects, I will look at other dts files
to properly implement it (with the chipselect and range properties).

Ok I will remove that.

Thanks for all the comments, I will re-submit a patch as soon as I have
fixed all that.
