[ Upstream commit 16983507742cbcaa5592af530872a82e82fb9c51 ]
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.
