Bug Description

[Impact]
There are 2 asix drivers in the kernel, they are drivers/net/usb/asix and drivers/net/phy/asix. It leads to the compilation race condition that one overwrites the other asix.mod in .tmp_version directory. This affects the USB dongle if the "phy" one wins.

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 7 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0b95 ProdID=7720 Rev=00.01
S: Manufacturer=ASIX Elec. Corp.
S: Product=AX88772A
S: SerialNumber=000527
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=250mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=00 Driver=asix

[Fix]
The same name asix has been introduced since v4.18-rc1 by this commit
   31dd83b96641 net-next: phy: new Asix Electronics PHY driver
the new commit fix this issue by renaming it
   a9520543b123 net: phy: rename Asix Electronics PHY driver

[Test]
Verified on my own ASIX USB Ethernet dongle.

[Regression Potential]
Low, it only rename the module name, no code change.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-done-disco'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-failed-disco'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
