Hmmm... Unless alloc_netdev() and mdiobus_alloc() are allocating
something special, I think it probably would be better to make them
use devres.  Please take a look at how ata_host_alloc() and
ata_host_start() are doing it.

IIRC, Brandon spent some time thinking about how use devres on network
drivers.  Brandon, any ideas?

Thanks.
