Alright, I think the best we can do here is to merge patch 2 
in a "stable tag" way. The rest will have to go via net-next.

I applied patch 2, Russell please rebase the rest on net-next 
and repost. Patch 2 should disappear. I don't want to merge it
now as is without an explicit nod from Vinod. He did ask for 
a tag and we won't provide one.

Vinod / Vladimir, to merge the "stable tag" of patch 2:

tag_name=phy-qcom-sgmii-eth-add-set_mode-and-validate-methods
git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git
git tag $tag_name 0e8147f4da00
git merge $tag_name
git tag -d $tag_name

I think this should work.
