Between queuing the delayed work and finishing the setup of the dsa
ports, the process may sleep in request_module() and the queued work may
be executed prior the initialization of the DSA ports is finished. In
ksz_mib_read_work(), a NULL dereference will happen within
netof_carrier_ok(dp->slave).
Not queuing the delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer() make things even
worse because the work will now be queued for immediate execution
(instead of 2000 ms) in ksz_mac_link_down() via
dsa_port_link_register_of().
Solution:
1. Do not queue (only initialize) delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer().
2. Only queue delayed work in ksz_mac_link_down() if init is completed.
3. Queue work once in ksz_switch_register(), after dsa_register_switch()
has completed.
