> This patch
> - makes mdio_device.c part of libphy
> - makes mdio_device_(un)register_reset() static
> - moves mdiobus_(un)register_device() from mdio_bus.c to mdio_device.c,
>   stops exporting both functions and makes them private to phylib
> 
> This further decouples the MDIO consumer functionality from libphy.
> 
> Note: This makes MDIO driver registration part of phylib, therefore
>       adjust Kconfig dependencies where needed.
