The issue was when dual setup of LAN7801 with an external PHY(LAN8841
in this case) are connected to the same DUT PC, the PC got hanged. The
issue in seen with external phys only and not observed in case of
internal PHY being connected(LAN7800). When we looked into the code
flow we found that in phy_scan_fixup allocates a dev for the first
device. Before it is unregistered, the second device is attached and
since we already have a phydev it ignores and does not allocate dev for
second device. This is the reason why we unregister the first device
before the second device attach.

Sure. Will update it in the next revision.
