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.
