Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: usb: smsc95xx: use phy_do_ioctl_running function

From: Ethan Nelson-Moore <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 22:57:49 -0800

The smsc95xx_ioctl function behaves identically to the
phy_do_ioctl_running function. Remove it and use the
phy_do_ioctl_running function directly instead.
