    As explained in commits:
    74b6d7d1 ("net: dsa: realtek: register the MDIO bus under devres")
    5135e96a ("net: dsa: don't allocate the slave_mii_bus using devres")
    
    mdiobus_free() will panic when called from devm_mdiobus_free() <-
    devres_release_all() <- __device_release_driver(), and that mdiobus was
    not previously unregistered.
    
    The Seville VSC9959 switch is a platform device, so the initial set of
    constraints that I thought would cause this (I2C or SPI buses which call
    ->remove on ->shutdown) do not apply. But there is one more which
    applies here.
    
    If the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown
    (like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link
    between the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()
    will unbind the seville switch driver on shutdown.
    
    So the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which
    is: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,
    or don't use devres at all.
    
    The seville driver has a code structure that could accommodate both the
    mdiobus_unregister and mdiobus_free calls, but it has an external
    dependency upon mscc_miim_setup() from mdio-mscc-miim.c, which calls
    devm_mdiobus_alloc_size() on its behalf. So rather than restructuring
    that, and exporting yet one more symbol mscc_miim_teardown(), let's work
    with devres and replace of_mdiobus_register with the devres variant.
    When we use all-devres, we can ensure that devres doesn't free a
    still-registered bus (it either runs both callbacks, or none).
