Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.3 93/99] net: usb: lan78xx: Connect PHY before registering MAC

From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>

[ Upstream commit 38b4fe320119859c11b1dc06f6b4987a16344fa1 ]

As soon as the netdev is registers, the kernel can start using the
interface. If the driver connects the MAC to the PHY after the netdev
is registered, there is a race condition where the interface can be
opened without having the PHY connected.

Change the order to close this race condition.
