Just a side note, the patch "phylib: rename mii_bus::dev to mii_bus::parent" seems to do a lot more than just renaming mii_bus::dev to mii_bus::parent in drivers/net/mv643xx_eth.c. You might have inadvertently committed unrelated changes.

Works fine for me. For the mdio-ofgpio part:

BTW your "phylib: move to dynamic allocation of struct mii_bus" patch fixes a double free in drivers/net/phy/mdio-ofgpio.c. Thanks for catching this.
