The problem with the original commit is explained by Russell King: "It has the effect (as can be seen from the oops) of attaching the MDIO bus device (itself is a bus-less device) to the platform driver, which means that if the platform driver supports power management, it will be called to power manage the MDIO bus device. Moreover, drivers do not expect to be called for power management operations for devices which they haven't probed, and certainly not for devices which aren't part of the same bus that the driver is registered against."
