Commit 31dd83b96641 ("net-next: phy: new Asix Electronics PHY driver")
introduced a new PHY driver drivers/net/phy/asix.c that causes a module
name conflict with a pre-existiting driver (drivers/net/usb/asix.c).
The PHY driver is used by the X-Surf 100 ethernet card driver, and loaded
by that driver via its PHY ID. A rename of the driver looks unproblematic.
Rename PHY driver to ax88796b.c in order to resolve name conflict.

- merge into single commit (suggested by Andrew Lunn)
Hi Michael
There is a flag you can pass to git which will make it issue a rename,
rather than delete and then add. That will make the patch much
smaller.
Thanks, will do.
net-next is closed at the moment.
My apologies - I had hoped that as a bugfix. this could go straight to net.
Cheers,
Michael

Once it reopens, please send a v3, and it will be merged.
Thanks
Andrew
