Log:
  [arge] add a comment about needing mdio busses in order to use the interface.
  
  This is a holdover from how reset is handled in the ARGE_MDIO world.
  You need to define the mdio bus device if you want to use the ethernet
  device or the arge setup path doesn't bring the MAC out of reset.
