From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 38b4fe320119859c11b1dc06f6b4987a16344fa1 ] As soon as the netdev is registers, the kernel can start using the interface. If the driver connects the MAC to the PHY after the netdev is registered, there is a race condition where the interface can be opened without having the PHY connected. Change the order to close this race condition.
