What about error when mdio_bus is 0? It means that mdio_register can
return no error, but sth happen and there is no need to call mdio_remove
in this case?

I mean:
 /* If the instance with the MDIO bus has not yet appeared,
  * defer probing until it gets probed.
  */
  if (!mdio_bus)
	return -EPROBE_DEFER;

netif_napi_add_weight() doesn't need to be unrolled in case of error
(call netif_napi_del() or something)?

Thanks
