Hi Egil

Enable CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.

Any lockdep splat you get while accessing the mdio bus at this point
are probably false positives, since it is a different mutex. Using the
_nested() version should avoid these false positives. But you might
find other places your locking is not right.
