Disassembly of drivers/base/dd.c shows that dev->p is a NULL pointer,
and dev->p->dead goes right through it. How did we even get here...
device_private_init() should be called by device_add().

Curiously enough, mdio_device_create() only calls device_initialize().
It's mdio_device_register() that calls device_add(). So after this
patch, we cannot call lynx_pcs_create() without calling
mdio_device_register().
