[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: phy: xilinx-gmii2rgmii: Fix PHY data ownership and removal

The Xilinx GMII-to-RGMII converter copies the attached PHY driver and
replaces its read_status and set_loopback callbacks. This series addresses
two problems in that arrangement: overwriting driver data belonging to
the external PHY, and leaving phydev->drv pointing at freed converter
memory after converter removal.

Patch 1 retrieves the converter private data from its embedded phy_driver
using container_of_const(), preserving the external PHY's MDIO driver-data
field. It fixes the overwrite introduced by commit 168f7a161608 ("net: phy:
gmii2rgmii: Dont use priv field in phy device").

Patch 2 stores private data on the converter's own MDIO device and adds a
remove callback. It restores the original PHY driver under phydev->lock
only if the converter's copy is still installed, and releases the reference
acquired by of_phy_find_device(). This addresses the stale pointer observed
during PHY state-machine polling after converter-only unbind. The missing
removal cleanup dates back to commit f411a6160bd4 ("net: phy: Add
gmiitorgmii converter support"). Apply the patches in order.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1: unchanged.
- Patch 2: restore the original PHY driver only if phydev->drv still
  points to the converter's copy.
- Patch 2: update the comment and commit message to describe serialization
  against PHY callbacks that hold phydev->lock.
