[PATCH] Add the phy_device_release device method.

[Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@avionic-design.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1588 bytes --]

In cases where more than a single PHY is found on the MDIO bus, the kernel
will print a warning that this method is missing for each PHY device that
has not been attached to a networking device.
