Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] Rework GENET MDIO controller clocking

This patch series reworks the way that we manage the GENET MDIO
controller clocks around I/O accesses. During testing with a fully
modular build where bcmgenet, mdio-bcm-unimac, and the Broadcom PHY
driver (broadcom) are all loaded as modules, with no particular care
being taken to order them to mimize deferred probing the following bus
error was obtained:

The issue here is that we managed to probe the GENET controller, the
mdio-bcm-unimac MDIO controller, but the PHY was still being held in a
probe deferral state because it depended upon a GPIO controller provider
not loaded yet. As soon as that provider is loaded however, the PHY
continues to probe, tries to disable the interrupts, and this causes a
MDIO transaction. That MDIO transaction requires I/O register accesses
within the GENET's larger block, and since its clocks are turned off,
the CPU gets a bus error signaled as a System Error.

The patch series takes the simplest approach of keeping the clocks
enabled just for the duration of the I/O accesses. This is also
beneficial to other drivers like bcmasp2 which make use of the same MDIO
controller driver.

Changes in v2:

- added missing ret assignment in the if (IS_ERR(priv->clk)) branch

- added Jacob's R-by tags

- corrected the commit ID being reverted in patch #3

  net: bcmgenet: Pass "main" clock down to the MDIO driver
  Revert "net: bcmgenet: Ensure MDIO unregistration has clocks enabled"
