From: Jian-Hong Pan <jhp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b2ac9800cfe0f8da16abc4e74e003440361c112e ] The Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus from mdio-bcm-unimac module comes too late. So, GENET cannot find the ethernet PHY on UniMAC MDIO bus. This leads GENET fail to attach the PHY as following log: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet: GENET 5.0 EPHY: 0x0000 ... could not attach to PHY bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet eth0: failed to connect to PHY uart-pl011 fe201000.serial: no DMA platform data libphy: bcmgenet MII bus: probed ... unimac-mdio unimac-mdio.-19: Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus This patch adds the soft dependency to load mdio-bcm-unimac module before genet module to avoid the issue.
