> mdiobus_register() registers a device which is already bound to a driver.
> Hence, the driver pointer should be set properly in order to track down
> the driver associated to the MDIO bus.
>
> This will be used to allow ethernet driver to pin down a MDIO bus driver,
> preventing it from being unloaded while the PHY device is running.
