Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] net: smsc911x: Move phy and interrupt config

v2-v3: Move error handing into separate patch, replace a couple cases
 of fixed errors with the errors being returned from the failing functions.
 Hoist irq handler.

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 (4):
  net: smsc911x: Remove multiple exit points from smsc911x_open
  net: smsc911x: Fix register_netdev, phy startup, driver unload
    ordering
  net: smsc911x: Move interrupt handler before open
  net: smsc911x: Move interrupt allocation to open/stop
