Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: phy: remove mdio_board_info support from
 phylib

Since its introduction in 2017 mdio_board_info has had only two users:
- dsa_loop (still existing)
- arm orion, added in 2017 and removed with fd68572b57f2 ("ARM: orion5x:
  remove dsa_chip_data references")

So let's remove usage of mdio_board_info from dsa_loop, then support
for mdio_board_info can be dropped from phylib.

Heiner Kallweit (2):
  net: dsa: dsa_loop: remove usage of mdio_board_info
  net: phy: remove mdio_board_info support from phylib
