[v2][PATCH 0/1] net: phy: Add link between phy dev and mac dev

[Xiaolei Wang]

Compared with v1, put the link between phy dev and mac dev
in phy_attach_direct, if the external phy used by current
mac interface is managed by another mac interface,
so we should create a device link between phy dev and mac dev.

If the external phy used by current mac interface is
managed by another mac interface, it means that this
network port cannot work independently, especially
when the system suspend and resume, the following
trace may appear, so we should create a device link
between phy dev and mac dev.
