The mdiodev patch is already in the tree as 0ebecb2644c8 ("net: mdio:
Add helper functions for accessing MDIO devices"). The c22 patch is
submitted as [1].

Patchwork says its deferrred:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20211022160959.3350916-1-sean.anderson@xxxxxxxx/

However, it does apply to current net-next, but Jakub did ask for
it to be resubmitted.

Well, he suggested that I would have to resubmit it. But I ordered the
patches such that they would apply cleanly in what I thought was the
most likely scenario (which indeed come to pass). So I didn't think it
was necessary to resend.

Given that patches are being quickly applied to net-next, I suggest
resubmission may be just what's neeeded!

Resent.
