Subject: [PATCH 2/2] net: smsc911x: Fix register_netdev, phy startup ordering and driver unload

Previously the mdio and phy's were started in the drv probe following
register_netdev(). This could lead to a situation where if the netdev was
opened before the mdio/phys were configured, it would fail with a
EAGAIN.

Also, the use of phy_connect_direct() in the drv_probe
routine results in a situation where the module use count would never
decrease sufficiently to unload the driver.

With this patch the mdio bus is allocated/configured before
register_netdev(), and the phy's are brought online/started in the
ndo_open and stopped in the ndo_stop. Because of this, the behavior
of ethtool changes a little if the interface is stopped. Before the
phy's would remain up, and their last state would be displayed with
ethtool. Now ethtool reports link has been severed/Link detected: no
when the net dev is stopped.
