Add lynx_pcs_create_mdiodev() to simplify the creation of the mdio device associated with lynx PCS. In order to allow lynx_pcs_destroy() to clean this up, we need to arrange for lynx_pcs_create() to take a refcount on the mdiodev, and lynx_pcs_destroy() to put it. Adding the refcounting to lynx_pcs_create()..lynx_pcs_destroy() will be transparent to existing users of these interfaces.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
