"modprobe asix ; rmmod asix ; modprobe asix" fails with:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename \
'/devices/virtual/mdio_bus/usb-003:004'
Issue was originally reported by Anton Lundin on 2022-06-22 (link below).
Chrome OS team hit the same issue in Feb, 2023 when trying to find
work arounds for other issues with AX88172 devices.
The use of devm_mdiobus_register() with usbnet devices results in the
MDIO data being associated with the USB device. When the asix driver
is unloaded, the USB device continues to exist and the corresponding
"mdiobus_unregister()" is NOT called until the USB device is unplugged
or unauthorized. So the next "modprobe asix" will fail because the MDIO
phy sysfs attributes still exist.
The 'easy' (from a design PoV) fix is to use the non-devm variants of
mdiobus_* functions and explicitly manage this use in the asix_bind
and asix_unbind function calls. I've not explored trying to fix usbnet
initialization so devm_* stuff will work.

V5: remove ax88772_mdio_unregister() call from error path in ax88772_init_phy()
Jakub pointed out ax88772_mdio_unregister() will get called twice.
(note: putting mdio handling in one function helps avoid this kind of bug.)
V4: add mdio_unregister to ax88172_bind() error handling paths
V3: rebase against netdev/net.git
remove "TEST" prefix in subject line
added Link: tag for Reported-by tag
V2: moved mdiobus_get_phy() call back into ax88772_init_phy()
(Lukas Wunner is entirely correct this patch is much easier
to backport without this patch hunk.)
Added "Fixes:" tag per request from Florian Fainelli

Code looks good but now you posted only one patch with [PATCH 1/2]
so patchwork is dutifully waiting to receive [PATCH 2/2]. And not
running any checks. One more time, please :) You can keep Simon's
review tag.
