Better place for of_mdio.c is drivers/net/mdio.
Move of_mdio.c from drivers/of to drivers/net/mdio

One thing off my todo list. I'd started this ages ago[1].

of_mdio.c is really a combination of mdio and phylib functions, so it
should be split up IMO. With that, I think you can get rid of
CONFIG_OF_MDIO. See my branch[1] for what I had in mind. But that can
be done after this if the net maintainers prefer.

Makes sense to me to split of_mdio.c. I can work on it once my current task
completes.

If you could take Rob's patches, given then a round of randconfig build tests and update the MAINTAINERS file (no more drivers/of/of_mdio.c), then this looks like the right approach to me. Thanks!
