[ Upstream commit cf9579976f724ad517cc15b7caadea728c7e245c ]
MDIO-attached devices might have interrupts and other things that might
need quiesced when we kexec into a new kernel. Things are even more
creepy when those interrupt lines are shared, and in that case it is
absolutely mandatory to disable all interrupt sources.
Moreover, MDIO devices might be DSA switches, and DSA needs its own
shutdown method to unlink from the DSA master, which is a new
requirement that appeared after commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link
interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings").
So introduce a ->shutdown method in the MDIO device driver structure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
