Alex reported the following:

  "
  I'm doing some MDIO work on a freescale/NXP platform and I bumped into
  errors with this command:
  => mdio r emdio#3 5 3
  Reading from bus emdio#3
  "Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x8600000e
  elr: ffffffff862b8000 lr : 000000008200cce4 (reloc)
  ...

  mdio list does not list any PHYs currently because ethernet is using DM
  and the interfaces are not probed at this time.  The PHY does exist
  on the bus though.
  The above scenario works with this commit reverted:
  e55047ec51a662c12ed53ff543ec7cdf158b2137 cmd: mdio: Switch to generic
  helpers when accessing the registers

  The current code using generic helpers only works for PHYs that have
  been registered and show up in bus->phymap and crashes for arbitrary
  IDs.  I find it useful to allow reading from other addresses over MDIO
  too, certainly helpful for people debugging MDIO on various boards.
  "

Fix this by reverting to use the raw MDIO bus operations in case there
is no PHY probed based on DT at the specified address.

This restores the old behavior for these PHYs, which means that the
newly introduced MMD-over-C22 helpers won't be available for them, but
at least they will be accessible again without crashing the system.

Fixes: commit e55047ec51a6 ("cmd: mdio: Switch to generic helpers when accessing the registers")
