There are a lot of defines here which are not used, but as far as i
see, there is one 8bit register, where bit 7 controls the mux.

It looks like you can throw this driver away and just use
mdio-mux-mmioreg.c. This is from the binding documentation with a few
tweaks:

   mdio-mux@3009000 {
        compatible = "mdio-mux-mmioreg", "mdio-mux";
        mdio-parent-bus = <&xmdio0>;
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;
        reg = <0x3009000 1>;
        mux-mask = <128>;

        mdio@0 {
            reg = <0>;
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;

            phy_xgmii_slot1: ethernet-phy@4 {
                compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45";
                reg = <4>;
            };
        };

        mdio@128 {
            reg = <128>;
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;

            ethernet-phy@4 {
                compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45";
                reg = <4>;
            };
        };
    };
