[PATCH] net: ethernet: fix kernel OOPS when remove davinci_mdio module

From: Bin Liu <b-liu@ti.com>
Date: 2012-08-30 16:51:14

davinci mdio device is not unregistered from mdiobus when removing
the module, which causes BUG_ON() when free the device from mdiobus.

Calling mdiobus_unregister() before mdiobus_free() fixes the issue.
