net: mdio-mux: Handle -EPROBE_DEFER correctly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 7bd0cef ]

When registering mdiobus children, if we get an -EPROBE_DEFER, we shouldn't
ignore it and continue registering the rest of the mdiobus children. This
would permanently prevent the deferring child mdiobus from working instead
of reattempting it in the future. So, if a child mdiobus needs to be
reattempted in the future, defer the entire mdio-mux initialization.

This fixes the issue where PHYs sitting under the mdio-mux aren't
initialized correctly if the PHY's interrupt controller is not yet ready
when the mdio-mux is being probed. Additional context in the link below.

Fixes: 0ca2997 ("netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.")
