mdio_bus: Add comment to mdiobus_scan() and __mdiobus_register()
Make it clear that mdiobus_scan () will only find devices which have a vendor/product ID in registers 2 and 3. These are typically PHY devices. Other sort of MDIO devices, such as switches, are not expected to be found during the scan. Similarly, __mdiobus_register(), which calls mdiobus_scan() will only find PHY devices, and other sorts of MDIO devices are expected to be instantiated from device tree.
