OK, I will respin this without the inline keyword then.

No, but I found not necessary to issue this "mdio_bus" lookup if the
lock is not held (see net/dsa/dsa.c:555). Do you prefer not to do that?

Also are you OK with removing all the "Must be called with..." comments,
which I found not necessary too (some function have this comment, some
others don't).

Thanks,
