Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: mdio: ensure the type of mdio devices match
 mdio drivers

On the MDIO bus, we have PHYLIB devices and drivers, and we have non-
PHYLIB devices and drivers. PHYLIB devices are MDIO devices that are
wrapped with a struct phy_device.

Trying to bind a MDIO device with a PHYLIB driver results in out-of-
bounds accesses as we attempt to access struct phy_device members. So,
let's prevent this by ensuring that the type of the MDIO device
(indicated by the MDIO_DEVICE_FLAG_PHY flag) matches the type of the
MDIO driver (indicated by the MDIO_DEVICE_IS_PHY flag.)
