sfp: fix oops with ethtool -m
If a network interface is created prior to the SFP socket being available, ethtool can request module information. This unfortunately leads to an oops: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = (ptrval) [00000008] *pgd=7c400831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1480 Comm: ethtool Not tainted 4.19.0-rc3 #138 Hardware name: Broadcom Northstar Plus SoC PC is at sfp_get_module_info+0x8/0x10 LR is at dev_ethtool+0x218c/0x2afc Fix this by not filling in the network device's SFP bus pointer until SFP is fully bound, thereby avoiding the core calling into the SFP bus code.
