The patch titled PHY: add the phy_device_release device method has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was phy-add-the-phy_device_release-device-method.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: PHY: add the phy_device_release device method From: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In cases where more than a single PHY is found on the MDIO bus, the kernel will print a warning that this method is missing for each PHY device that is not attached to a networking device.
