4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszew...@baylibre.com>
commit dc45519eb181b5687ac8382361a8aa085acd1fe1 upstream.
This patch reverts commit 3243ff2a05ec ("net: ethernet: davinci_emac:
Deduplicate bus_find_device() by name matching") and adds a comment
which should stop anyone from reintroducing the same "fix" in the future.
We can't use bus_find_device_by_name() here because the device name is
not guaranteed to be 'davinci_mdio'. On some systems it can be
'davinci_mdio.0' so we need to use strncmp() against the first part of
the string to correctly match it.
Fixes: 3243ff2a05ec ("net: ethernet: davinci_emac: Deduplicate
bus_find_device() by name matching")
