This doesn't look relevant to 3.2.

    net: fsl_pq_mdio: fix non tbi phy access
    
    Since 952c5ca1 (fsl_pq_mdio: Clean up tbi address configuration) .probe returns
    -EBUSY when the "tbi-phy" node is missing. Fix this.
$ git describe --contains 952c5ca1
v3.3-rc1~182^2~603
$ git rev-list v3.2..v3.2.14 drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fsl_pq_mdio.c
