[PATCH net-next 06/16] net: pcs: xpcs: Avoid creating dummy XPCS MDIO device

[Serge Semin <fancer.lancer@gmail.com>]

If the DW XPCS MDIO devices are either left unmasked for being auto-probed
or explicitly registered in the MDIO subsystem by means of the
mdiobus_register_board_info() method there is no point in creating the
dummy MDIO device instance in order to get the DW XPCS handler since the
MDIO core subsystem will create the device during the MDIO bus
registration procedure. All what needs to be done is to just reuse the
MDIO-device instance available in the mii_bus.mdio_map array (using some
getter for it would look better though). It shall prevent the XPCS devices
been accessed over several MDIO-device instances.

Note since the MDIO-device instance might be retrieved from the MDIO-bus
map array its reference counter shall be increased. If the MDIO-device
instance is created in the xpcs_create_mdiodev() method its reference
counter will be already increased. So there is no point in toggling the
reference counter in the xpcs_create() function. Just drop it from there.
