Russell King (Oracle) d33dae5164 net: phy: add a note about refcounting
Recently, a patch has been submitted to "fix" the refcounting for a DT
node in of_mdiobus_link_mdiodev(). This is not a leaked refcount. The
refcount is passed to the new device.

Sadly, coccicheck identifies this location as a leaked refcount, which
means we're likely to keep getting patches to "fix" this. However,
fixing this will cause breakage. Add a comment to state that the lack
of of_node_put() here is intentional.

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.
