patch "staging: octeon: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()" added to staging-linus

[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: octeon: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: octeon: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()

The Octeon driver calls into PHYLIB which now checks for
net_device->dev.parent, so make sure we do set it before calling into
any MDIO/PHYLIB related function.

Fixes: ec988ad78ed6 ("phy: Don't increment MDIO bus refcount unless it's a different owner")
