Subject: [PATCH] net: fman: Unregister ethernet device on removal

When the mac device gets removed, it leaves behind the ethernet device.
This will result in a segfault next time the ethernet device accesses
mac_dev. Remove the ethernet device when we get removed to prevent
this. This is not completely reversible, since some resources aren't
cleaned up properly, but that can be addressed later.

Fixes: 3933961682a3 ("fsl/fman: Add FMan MAC driver")
Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@...o.com>

So... why *do* we have a separate device for the ethernet interface?
Can't the mac device just register the netdev itself?
