Fix the driver remove callback to unmap the base register address and
not leak this mapping after the driver has been removed.

What about using devm_request_and_ioremap() instead, in order to get
automatic unmap on error and in the ->remove() path?
Right now, you are using of_iomap() which eases the task of fetching the 
resource and getting an ioremap cookie, which I why I kept that.
But maybe it won't work because this memory range is claimed both by
the MDIO driver and the Ethernet driver itself. In that case, you could
use devm_ioremap().
Then we would loose the facility of of_iomap(), but fair enough, it can 
be inserted as a patch in this serie.

Thanks
