This reverts commit 1838d6c62f57836639bd3d83e7855e0ee4f6defc.
This commit moved the ravb_mdio_init() call (and thus the
of_mdiobus_register() call) from the ravb_probe() to the ravb_open()
call. This causes a regression during system resume (s2idle/s2ram), as
new PHY devices cannot be bound while suspended.
During boot, the Micrel PHY is detected like this:
Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: attached PHY
driver [Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY]
(mii_bus:phy_addr=e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00, irq=228)
ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
During system suspend, (A) defer_all_probes is set to true, and (B)
usermodehelper_disabled is set to UMH_DISABLED, to avoid drivers being
probed while suspended.
A. If CONFIG_MODULES=n, phy_device_register() calling device_add()
merely adds the device, but does not probe it yet, as
really_probe() returns early due to defer_all_probes being set:
dpm_resume+0x128/0x4f8
device_resume+0xcc/0x1b0
dpm_run_callback+0x74/0x340
ravb_resume+0x190/0x1b8
ravb_open+0x84/0x770

of_mdiobus_phy_device_register+0x178/0x1e8
phy_device_register+0x114/0x1b8
device_add+0x3d4/0x798
bus_probe_device+0x98/0xa0

__device_attach_driver+0xb8/0xe0
driver_probe_device.part.11+0xc4/0xd8
really_probe+0x32c/0x3b8
Later, phy_attach_direct() notices no PHY driver has been bound,
and falls back to the Generic PHY, leading to degraded operation:
Generic PHY e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: attached PHY driver [Generic
PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00, irq=POLL)
ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
B. If CONFIG_MODULES=y, request_module() returns early with -EBUSY due
to UMH_DISABLED, and MDIO initialization fails completely:
mdio_bus e6800000.ethernet-ffffffff:00: error -16 loading PHY driver
module for ID 0x00221622
ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: failed to initialize MDIO
PM: dpm_run_callback(): ravb_resume+0x0/0x1b8 returns -16
PM: Device e6800000.ethernet failed to resume: error -16
Ignoring -EBUSY in phy_request_driver_module(), like was done for
-ENOENT in commit 21e194425abd65b5 ("net: phy: fix issue with loading
PHY driver w/o initramfs"), would makes it fall back to the Generic
PHY, like in the CONFIG_MODULES=n case.

Commit 1838d6c62f578366 ("ravb: Fixed to be able to unload modules") was
already backported to stable v4.4, v4.9, v4.14, v4.19, v5.4, and v5.8),
and thus needs to be reverted there, too.
Ugh!
Sorry for not noticing the issue with the original patch... :-/
