Public bug reported:

Different implementations of ThunderX use different underlying phys. The
driver currently fakes a hard dependency on one of these phy drivers to
make sure it gets loaded (mdio-octeon) - but changes have landed
upstream to switch this over to deferred probing, so that devices can be
discovered as the other possible phy drivers get initialized. These phy
drivers also need to be made available at install time.
