    As explained in commits:
    74b6d7d1 ("net: dsa: realtek: register the MDIO bus under devres")
    5135e96a ("net: dsa: don't allocate the slave_mii_bus using devres")
    
    mdiobus_free() will panic when called from devm_mdiobus_free() <-
    devres_release_all() <- __device_release_driver(), and that mdiobus was
    not previously unregistered.
    
    The ar9331 is an MDIO device, so the initial set of constraints that I
    thought would cause this (I2C or SPI buses which call ->remove on
    ->shutdown) do not apply. But there is one more which applies here.
    
    If the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown
    (like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link
    between the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()
    will unbind the ar9331 switch driver on shutdown.
    
    So the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which
    is: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,
    or don't use devres at all.
    
    The ar9331 driver doesn't have a complex code structure for mdiobus
    removal, so just replace of_mdiobus_register with the devres variant in
    order to be all-devres and ensure that we don't free a still-registered
    bus.
