Please recall the devinfo graph that I posted earlier. The PHY arge0 =
needs to talk to is attached to the MDIO master on the switch =
controller, which in turn is attached to GE1's MDIO master. This would =
require early attachment of the switch, in turn requiring early =
attachment of arge_mdio, in turn requiring early attachment of =
mips/mips/nexus.

Why is the above is less of a hack than making the ordering in nexus =
configurable through a hint?
