net: dsa: bcm_sf2: stop assigning an OF node to the ds->user_mii_bus
The bcm_sf2 driver does something strange. Instead of calling of_mdiobus_register() with an OF node argument, it manually assigns the bus->dev->of_node and then calls the non-OF mdiobus_register(). This circumvents some code from __of_mdiobus_register() from running, which sets the auto-scan mask, parses some device tree properties, etc. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the OF node isn't, in fact, needed at all, and can be removed. The MDIO diversion as initially implemented in commit 461cd1b ("net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Register our slave MDIO bus") looked quite different than it is now, after commit 771089c ("net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Ensure that MDIO diversion is used"). Initially, it made sense, as bcm_sf2 was registering another set of driver ops for the "brcm,unimac-mdio" OF node. But now, it deletes all phandles, which makes "phy-handle"s unable to find PHYs, which means that it always goes through the OF-unaware dsa_user_phy_connect().
