This is v2 of this patch, so let me make some comments about that.

* Firstly, unless asked to repost by a reviewer/maintainer,
  it's generally bad practice to post a patch(set) more than once within 24h.

* If it is a networking but fix, then it should be targeted at the 'net' tree.
  Otherwise, networking patches should be targeted at the 'net-next' tree.
  In either case this should be noted in the subject.

  Also, v2 (and so on), should be noted in the subject.

  Something like this:

  [PATCH v2 net-next] net: stmmac: get phydev->interface from mac for mdio phy

* When posting revised patches, it's important to note what has changed.
  typically that goes below the scissors ('---').

  Something like this;

  v2:
  * Fixed blah
  * Updated foo

* Please read the FAQ
