Subject: [RFC,PATCH 0/3] phylib: give mdio buses a device tree presence

This patch series hooks up mdio buses (struct mii_bus) into the device
tree, so that they show up in sysfs and can be found by walking the
device tree.

The main intended user for this is the DSA switch driver, but there
might be other uses as well.

The bulk of the work is actually to convert all mii bus drivers over to
dynamic allocation of struct mii_bus (patch #2).  I'm not 100% sure that
I converted all users over correctly, I'll check this again tomorrow.
In any case, a number of users are buggy as-is (e.g. some of the bitbang
users do double-frees of their struct mii_bus on fail/deinit, etc).
