Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Modernize bitbanged GPIO MDIO

This kills off the platform data support from the bitbanged
GPIO-based MDIO driver and moves it over to using GPIO
descriptors exclusively.

We are certainly not going to merge any more platforms into
the kernel using platform data, and nothing is using it at the
moment. The only concern would be out-of-tree platforms, and
those are not the concern of the kernel community. They need
to move to use device tree (or ACPI etc) like everyone else.

This was tested on the bit-banged GPIO MDIO on the D-Link
DNS-313 and works fine for me.

Linus Walleij (5):
  net: mdio-gpio: Localize platform data
  net: mdio-gpio: Allocate state in probe()
  net: mdio-gpio: Remove non-DT probe path
  net: mdio-gpio: Merge platform data into state
  net: mdio-gpio: Move to gpiod API
