Jeremy Linton e06513d78d net: smsc911x: Fix unload crash when link is up
The smsc911x driver will crash if it is rmmod'ed while the netdev
is up like:

Call trace:

  phy_disconnect+0x40/0x50

  SyS_delete_module+0x1e8/0x238
  __sys_trace_return+0x0/0x4

This is caused by the mdiobus being unregistered/free'd
and the code in phy_detach() attempting to manipulate mdio
related structures from unregister_netdev() calling close()

To fix this, we delay the mdiobus teardown until after
the netdev is deregistered.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
