Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: allow bcm84881 to be a module

Now that the phylib module loading issue has been resolved, we can
allow this PHY driver to be built as a module.

This is a result of:

7d49a32a66d2 ("net: phy: ensure that phy IDs are correctly typed")
d2ed49cf6c13 ("mod_devicetable: fix PHY module format")

merged during the last cycle. Given that the bcm84881 driver is so
new, I'm not sure whether it's really important enough for -rc and
backporting to 5.5-stable or just queue it in net-next. My feeling
is that it's fairly low priority, and not important enough to
justify backporting to 5.5-stable unless someone really wants this
PHY driver to be modular. Therefore, I'm opting for net-next for
this posting.
