Heiner Kallweit 1698350774 net: phy: probe PHY drivers synchronously
If we have scenarios like

mdiobus_register()
	-> loads PHY driver module(s)
	-> registers PHY driver(s)
	-> may schedule async probe
phydev = mdiobus_get_phy()
<phydev action involving PHY driver>

or

phydev = phy_device_create()
	-> loads PHY driver module
	-> registers PHY driver
	-> may schedule async probe
<phydev action involving PHY driver>

then we expect the PHY driver to be bound to the phydev when triggering
the action. This may not be the case in case of asynchronous probing.
Therefore ensure that PHY drivers are probed synchronously.

Default still is sync probing, except async probing is explicitly
requested. I saw some comments that the intention is to promote
async probing for more parallelism in boot process and want to be
prepared for the case that the default is changed to async probing.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
