Actually, no, I will not send a v3, because the fact that devres can now
call devm_mdiobus_free without devm_mdiobus_unregister has nothing to do
with this series and touches much more than DSA, it is an issue introduced by
commit ac3a68d56651 ("net: phy: don't abuse devres in devm_mdiobus_register()").

I will deal with it separately, the basic idea being that
devm_mdiobus_alloc + plain mdiobus_register is bonkers, and Bartosz
didn't care enough to fix the existing users of that pattern before he
just went ahead to make _devm_mdiobus_free stop calling mdiobus_unregister.

In fact, this patch really got me wondering at the time, was the rtl8366
driver so broken at the time?
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210822193145.1312668-2-alvin@pqrs.dk/
No, it stems from the exact same patch from Bartosz, devres used to
unregister MDIO buses when freeing them, now it isn't.

So while I don't disagree with Bartosz' overall idea, the execution kinda sucks.
In your case, what happens is that your driver's ->shutdown method gets
called, and this (as discussed) means that your driver's ->remove method
will be a no-op (to avoid unregistering DSA structures twice). But since
SPI bus drivers which implement their own ->shutdown as ->remove are a
thing, the fact that you don't run anything on ->remove means you won't
unregister an MDIO bus structure that was allocated under devres. Even
worse, the ksz9477_spi driver does _not_ allocate any MDIO bus structure
under devres, but the DSA core does, it's that pesky ds->slave_mii_bus
for which DSA is too helpful for its own good. Unregistering that MDIO
bus happens only from the dsa_unregister_switch call path, not from
dsa_switch_shutdown. But even if your SPI device driver does a no-op on
->remove, it doesn't mean the device_del on it won't be called. And we
can't stop the devres callbacks from running, which inevitably means
that an MDIO bus structure which is still registered will get freed.

My personal conclusion is that either you go with devres all the way
(devm_mdiobus_alloc + devm_mdiobus_register) or with no devres all the
way (mdiobus_alloc + mdiobus_register), otherwise you've just signed up
to learning things you never really wanted to learn. The pattern of
devres for the mdiobus_alloc and then no devres for the mdiobus_register
is very old, which explains why devm_mdiobus_register was only added
very recently (between kernel v5.7 and v5.8). It used to be fine in the
sense that it worked, but now it's completely broken. Some poor soul
needs to audit that pattern across the whole kernel after Bartosz'
patch, and it looks like that somebody is me...
