Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] stmmac: fix oops on rmmod after assigning ip addr

An oops exists in the flow of stmmac_release().
phy_ethtool_get_wol() depends on phydev->drv.
phydev->drv will be null after stmmac_mdio_unreg() completes.

Steps to reproduce on Quark X1000:

1. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1
2. rmmod stmmac_pci

To fix this stmmac_mdio_unreg() should be run after unregister_netdev().
