Subject: [PATCH 0/2] net: smsc911x: Move phy and interrupt config

Hi,

The smsc911x driver is doing a number of things in its probe routine that
should be delayed until the interface is started. Because of this, the module
cannot be unloaded, the phy states are incorrect/stale if the interface isn't
running, open's unnecessarily fail causing network configuration problems, and
the /proc/irq nodes are incorrectly named.

Clean up a number of these problems by moving the mdio and interrupt
configuration into the smsc911x_open routine.

Jeremy Linton (2):
  net: smsc911x: Fix register_netdev, phy startup, driver unload
    ordering
  net/smsc911x: Move interrupt allocation to open/stop
