net: stmmac: Fix race between stmmac_drv_probe and stmmac_open
commit 57016590 upstream. There is currently a small window during which the network device registered by stmmac can be made visible, yet all resources, including and clock and MDIO bus have not had a chance to be set up, this can lead to the following error to occur: [ 473.919358] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): stmmac_dvr_probe: warning: cannot get CSR clock [ 473.919382] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0: no reset control found [ 473.919412] stmmac - user ID: 0x10, Synopsys ID: 0x42 [ 473.919429] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0: DMA HW capability register supported [ 473.919436] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0: RX Checksum Offload Engine supported [ 473.919443] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0: TX Checksum insertion supported [ 473.919451] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Enable RX Mitigation via HW Watchdog Timer [ 473.921395] libphy: PHY stmmac-1:00 not found [ 473.921417] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: Could not attach to PHY [ 473.921427] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) [ 473.959710] libphy: stmmac: probed [ 473.959724] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: PHY ID 01410cc2 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-1:00) active [ 473.959728] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: PHY ID 01410cc2 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-1:01) [ 473.959731] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: PHY ID 01410cc2 at 2 IRQ POLL (stmmac-1:02) [ 473.959734] stmmaceth 0000:01:00.0 eth0: PHY ID 01410cc2 at 3 IRQ POLL (stmmac-1:03) Fix this by making sure that register_netdev() is the last thing being done, which guarantees that the clock and the MDIO bus are available.
