Subject: [PATCH][RESEND] PHY: Add the phy_device_release device method.

From: Thierry Reding <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 09:35:11 +0100

In cases where more than a single PHY is found on the MDIO bus, the kernel
will print a warning that this method is missing for each PHY device that
is not attached to a networking device.
