Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: phy: Set the driver when registering an MDIO bus device
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:16:09 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406074570-13246-2-git-send-email-ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1406074570-13246-1-git-send-email-ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com>

mdiobus_register() registers a device which is already bound to a driver.
Hence, the driver pointer should be set properly in order to track down
the driver associated to the MDIO bus.

This will be used to allow ethernet driver to pin down a MDIO bus driver,
preventing it from being unloaded while the PHY device is running.
