Set the .autoscan flag to false on the regmap-mdio bus, to avoid using a
random uninitialized value. We don't want autoscan in this case as the
mdio device is a PCS and not a PHY.

Isn't this now covered by patch 1's memset of mrc?

Yes it is, however I thought it could be fine keeping it set explicitely
anyway, as we do have a PCS on that bus and we don't want any autoscan
happening. Since these two drivers are the first users of mdio_regmap,
my hope is that we could get these reference usages covering all fields.

Should I drop this ?
