====================
net: ethernet: Make sure we set dev->dev.parent

This patch series builds atop:

ec988ad7 ("phy: Don't increment MDIO
bus refcount unless it's a different owner")

FMAN is the one that potentially needs patching as well (call
SET_NETDEV_DEV), but there appears to be no way that init_phy is
called right now, or there is not such an in-tree user. Madalin, can
you comment on that?
