Geert Uytterhoeven 77972b55fb Revert "ravb: Fixed to be able to unload modules" 
This reverts commit 1838d6c62f.

This commit moved the ravb_mdio_init() call (and thus the
of_mdiobus_register() call) from the ravb_probe() to the ravb_open()
call.  This causes a regression during system resume (s2idle/s2ram), as
new PHY devices cannot be bound while suspended.

During boot, the Micrel PHY is detected like this:

    Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: attached PHY driver [Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00, irq=228)
    ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off

During system suspend, (A) defer_all_probes is set to true, and (B)
usermodehelper_disabled is set to UMH_DISABLED, to avoid drivers being
probed while suspended.

  A. If CONFIG_MODULES=n, phy_device_register() calling device_add()
     merely adds the device, but does not probe it yet, as
     really_probe() returns early due to defer_all_probes being set:

       dpm_resume+0x128/0x4f8
	 device_resume+0xcc/0x1b0
	   dpm_run_callback+0x74/0x340
	     ravb_resume+0x190/0x1b8
	       ravb_open+0x84/0x770
		 of_mdiobus_register+0x1e0/0x468
		   of_mdiobus_register_phy+0x1b8/0x250
		     of_mdiobus_phy_device_register+0x178/0x1e8
		       phy_device_register+0x114/0x1b8
			 device_add+0x3d4/0x798
			   bus_probe_device+0x98/0xa0
			     device_initial_probe+0x10/0x18
			       __device_attach+0xe4/0x140
				 bus_for_each_drv+0x64/0xc8
				   __device_attach_driver+0xb8/0xe0
				     driver_probe_device.part.11+0xc4/0xd8
				       really_probe+0x32c/0x3b8

     Later, phy_attach_direct() notices no PHY driver has been bound,
     and falls back to the Generic PHY, leading to degraded operation:

       Generic PHY e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: attached PHY driver [Generic PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00, irq=POLL)
       ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off

  B. If CONFIG_MODULES=y, request_module() returns early with -EBUSY due
     to UMH_DISABLED, and MDIO initialization fails completely:

       mdio_bus e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: error -16 loading PHY driver module for ID 0x00221622
       ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: failed to initialize MDIO
       PM: dpm_run_callback(): ravb_resume+0x0/0x1b8 returns -16
       PM: Device e6800000.ethernet failed to resume: error -16

     Ignoring -EBUSY in phy_request_driver_module(), like was done for
     -ENOENT in commit 21e194425a ("net: phy: fix issue with loading
     PHY driver w/o initramfs"), would makes it fall back to the Generic
     PHY, like in the CONFIG_MODULES=n case.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
