I'm not sure this is correct. But it is an odd case. Apart from
setting the name here, res is not used. Imaging a DT blob which does
not have the resource. You get a random name, but the MDIO bus works.
With your change, the probe fails. That is probably a regression.

Are there any .dts files in mainline which do not have the resource?
Then we have a clear regression, and this is then wrong.
