Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: phy: unregister MDIO bus in
 _devm_mdiobus_free if needed

If using managed MDIO bus handling (devm_mdiobus_alloc et al) we still
have to manually unregister the MDIO bus. For drivers that don't depend
on unregistering the MDIO bus at a specific, earlier point in time we
can make driver author's life easier by automagically unregistering
the MDIO bus. This extension is transparent to existing drivers.
