[PATCH net-next] mdio, phy: fix -Wshadow warnings triggered by nested container_of()

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Sat Jan 16 2021 - 12:13:59 EST


container_of() macro hides a local variable '__mptr' inside. This
becomes a problem when several container_of() are nested in each
other within single line or plain macros.
As C preprocessor doesn't support generating random variable names,
the sole solution is to avoid defining macros that consist only of
container_of() calls, or they will self-shadow '__mptr' each time:

In file included from ./include/linux/bitmap.h:10,
from drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:12:
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c: In function ‘phy_device_release’:
./include/linux/kernel.h:693:8: warning: declaration of ‘__mptr’ shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]

217 | kfree(to_phy_device(dev));

As they are declared in header files, these warnings are highly
repetitive and very annoying (along with the one from linux/pci.h).

Convert the related macros from linux/{mdio,phy}.h to static inlines
to avoid self-shadowing and potentially improve bug-catching.
No functional changes implied.
