Lan78xx driver accesses the PHY registers through MDIO bus over USB connection. When performing a suspend/resume, the PHY registers can be accessed before the USB connection is resumed. This will generate an error and will prevent the device to resume correctly. This patch adds the dependency between the MDIO bus and USB device to allow correct handling of suspend/resume.
