[PATCH 0/2] introduce devm_mdiobus_alloc/devm_mdiobus_free

[Grygorii Strashko]

Introduce a resource managed devm_mdiobus_alloc()/devm_mdiobus_free()
to automatically clean up MDIO bus alocations made by MDIO drivers,
thus leading to simplified MDIO drivers code.

Update Davinci MDIO driver ss example of new devm APIs usage.

This does look good at first glance. net-next is currently closed at
the moment, so this will have to be merged later.

At some point, we might also want to handle the mdio_bus irq array, as
that one is also usually dynamically allocated. Maybe we could just do
a static irq[PHY_MAX_ADDR] allocation, 32 times the size of an integer
might not be worth a potential leak.

Thanks. It can wait for 3.16, so I'll update & resend after rc1.
I have few more patches for davinci_mdio.c, so
my intention here was to check if I can base them on top of new API or not :)

It sounds good, but first of all irq field of mii_bus structure has to be made private. 
And drivers have to use getter/setters to access it - then its type can be changes 
simply and safely.

By the way, mdiobus_register() can be handled using DEVM approach too, but it 
will a bit more complex.
