Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: synchronize stmmac_open and stmmac_dvr_probe

From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@...el.com>

If kernel module stmmac driver being loaded after OS booted, there is a
race condition between stmmac_open() and stmmac_mdio_register(), which is
invoked inside stmmac_dvr_probe(), and the error is showed in dmesg log as
PHY not found and stmmac_open() failed:
[  473.919358] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized):

[  473.959734] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: PHY ID 01410cc2 at 3 IRQ POLL
		(stmmac-1:03)

The resolution used wait_for_completion_interruptible() to synchronize
stmmac_open() and stmmac_dvr_probe() to prevent the race condition
happening.
