Subject: [PATCH 0/3] net-next: use one struct bgmac & add PHY support

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

This patchset adds support for initializing PHY using PHY subsystem.
It's required e.g. for wireless access point devices that use bgmac
supported Ethernet device connected to some external PHY.

Implementing this required accessing phydev in bcma specific code which
wasn't possible with core code allocating struct bgmac on its own. This
is why I needed to modify alloc_etherdev usage first.

Rafał Miłecki (3):
  net: bgmac: allocate struct bgmac just once & don't copy it
  net: bgmac: drop struct bcma_mdio we don't need anymore
  net: bgmac: use PHY subsystem for initializing PHY
