Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] net: phy: remove modalias-based mdio bus matching
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 18:40:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce1c6df0-4785-4b28-8322-32dc6bceea18@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d9543e7d-23e1-4dba-a6b3-35dcd6a35dec@gmail.com>

Last user dsa_loop has been migrated away from modalias-based matching,
so we can remove this feature now. It was the only user of MDIO_NAME_SIZE,
so remove also this constant.
