[RFC PATCH] phylib: mdio: handle register/unregister/register sequence

[Boris BREZILLON]

The current implementation does not accept this sequence on a given mdio
bus: register/unregister/register.

The device core framework complain about already initialized kobject
struct:

"kobject (df9e9848): tried to init an initialized object, something is
seriously wrong."

This patch replaces the device_register call with device_add in
mdiobus_register and move the device struct initialization in the
mdiobus_alloc_size function.
Thus the device struct is only initialized once.
