We currently have two managed helpers for mdiobus - devm_mdiobus_alloc() and devm_mdiobus_register(). The idea behind devres is that the release callback releases whatever resource the devm function allocates. In the mdiobus case however there's no devres associated with the device by devm_mdiobus_register(). Instead the release callback for devm_mdiobus_alloc(): _devm_mdiobus_free() unregisters the device if it is marked as managed. This all seems wrong. The managed structure shouldn't need to know or care about whether it's managed or not - and this is the case now for struct mii_bus. The devres wrapper should be opaque to the managed resource. This changeset makes devm_mdiobus_alloc() and devm_mdiobus_register() conform to common devres standards: devm_mdiobus_alloc() allocates a devres structure and registers a callback that will call mdiobus_free(). __devm_mdiobus_register() allocated another devres and registers a callback that will unregister the bus.
