Subject: [PATCH 4.14 105/115] of_mdio: avoid MDIO bus removal when a PHY is missing

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Madalin Bucur <madalin.bucur@....com>


[ Upstream commit 95f566de0269a0c59fd6a737a147731302136429 ]

If one of the child devices is missing the of_mdiobus_register_phy()
call will return -ENODEV. When a missing device is encountered the
registration of the remaining PHYs is stopped and the MDIO bus will
fail to register. Propagate all errors except ENODEV to avoid it.
