It will be snps,dwmac-mdio but putting mdio-mux as a child of it (the mdio node) give me:

Adding a fake <reg> to mdio-mux remove it.
Does it is acceptable ? or perhaps patching of_mdiobus_register() to not scan node with compatible "mdio-mux".

reg are arbitrary value (like mdio-mux-mmioreg), but in our case it is easy to fix this warning.
