net: bgmac: postpone turning IRQs off to avoid SoC hangs
[ Upstream commit e7731194fdf085f46d58b1adccfddbd0dfee4873 ]
Turning IRQs off is done by accessing Ethernet controller registers.
That can't be done until device's clock is enabled. It results in a SoC
hang otherwise.
This bug remained unnoticed for years as most bootloaders keep all
Ethernet interfaces turned on. It seems to only affect a niche SoC
family BCM47189. It has two Ethernet controllers but CFE bootloader uses
only the first one.
