This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: octeon: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: octeon: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()
The Octeon driver calls into PHYLIB which now checks for
net_device->dev.parent, so make sure we do set it before calling into
any MDIO/PHYLIB related function.
Fixes: ec988ad78ed6 ("phy: Don't increment MDIO bus refcount unless it's a different owner")
