[ Upstream commit 0432e833191ad4d17b7fc2364941f91dad51db1a ]
Since 4.19 the following error in sysfs has appeared when using the r8169 NIC driver:
$cd /sys/module/realtek/drivers $ls -l ls: cannot access 'mdio_bus:RTL8201F 10/100Mbps Ethernet': No such file or directory [..garbled dir entries follow..]
Apparently the forward slash in "10/100Mbps Ethernet" is interpreted as directory separator that leads nowhere, and was introduced in commit 513588dd44b ("net: phy: realtek: add RTL8201F phy-id and functions").
Fix this by removing the offending slash in the driver name.
Other drivers in net/phy seem to have the same problem, but I cannot test/verify them.
