After the introduction of a private mac_lock that serializes access to priv->mac (and port_priv->mac in the switch), the only remaining purpose of rtnl_lock() is to satisfy the locking requirements of phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() and phylink_disconnect_phy(). But the functions these live in, dpaa2_mac_connect() and dpaa2_mac_disconnect(), have contradictory locking requirements. While phylink_fwnode_phy_connect() wants rtnl_lock() to be held, phylink_create() wants it to not be held. Move the rtnl_lock() from top-level (in the dpaa2-eth and dpaa2-switch drivers) to only surround the phylink calls that require it, in the dpaa2-mac library code. This is possible because dpaa2_mac_connect() and dpaa2_mac_disconnect() run unlocked, and there isn't any danger of an AB/BA deadlock between the rtnl_mutex and other private locks.
