PHY converter and external PHY drivers depend on MDIO functions of Eth
driver and such MDIO read/write completion may fire IRQ. The ISR for MDIO
completion IRQ is done in the open() function of driver.
For PHY converter mdio driver that registers ISR event that uses MDIO
read/write function during its probe() function, the MDIO ISR should have
been performed a head of time before mdio driver probe() is called. It is
for reason as such, the mdio device creation and registration will need
to be callable from Eth driver open() function.
Why existing way to register mdio_device for PHY converter that is done
via mdiobus_register_board_info() is not feasible is the mdio device
creation and registration happens inside Eth driver probe() function,
specifically in mdiobus_setup_mdiodevfrom_board_info() that is called
by mdiobus_register().
Therefore, to fulfill the need mentioned above, we make mdiobus_create_
device() to be callable from Eth driver open().
