mainlining shenanigans
ef8a2e2728
This patch fixes the case where the PHY isn't described in the device
tree. This is due to the way the MDIO bus is registered in the driver:
whether the PHY is described in the device tree or not, the bus is
registered through of_mdiobus_register. The function masks all the PHYs
and only allow probing the ones described in the device tree. Prior to
the Phylink conversion this was also done but later on in the driver
the MDIO bus was manually scanned to circumvent the fact that the PHY
wasn't described.
This patch fixes it in a proper way, by registering the MDIO bus based
on if the PHY attached to a given interface is described in the device
tree or not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
