From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3047211ca11bf77b3ecbce045c0aa544d934b945 ] There is a soft dependency against dsa_loop_bdinfo.ko which sets up the MDIO device registration, since there are no symbols referenced by dsa_loop.ko, there is no automatic loading of dsa_loop_bdinfo.ko which is needed.
