net: dsa: mt7530: fix kernel bug in mdiobus_free() when unbinding
Nobody in this driver calls mdiobus_unregister(), which is necessary if mdiobus_register() completes successfully. So if the devres callbacks that free the mdiobus get invoked (this is the case when unbinding the driver), mdiobus_free() will BUG if the mdiobus is still registered, which it is. My speculation is that this is due to the fact that prior to commit ac3a68d56651 ("net: phy: don't abuse devres in devm_mdiobus_register()") from June 2020, _devm_mdiobus_free() used to call mdiobus_unregister(). But at the time that the mt7530 support was introduced in May 2021, the API was already changed. It's therefore likely that the blamed patch was developed on an older tree, and incorrectly adapted to net-next. This makes the Fixes: tag correct. Fix the problem by using the devres variant of mdiobus_register.

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.
