[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.

[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.
