Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: manage corner deferred probe condition

For dual fec interfaces, external phys can only be configured by fec0.
When the function of_mdiobus_register return -EPROBE_DEFER, the driver
is lately called to manage fec1, which wrongly register its mii_bus as
fec0_mii_bus.
When fec0 retry the probe, the previous assignement prevent the MDIO bus
registration.
Use a static boolean to trace the orginal MDIO bus deferred probe and
prevent further registrations until the fec0 registration completed
succesfully.
