[PATCH] net: fsl_pq_mdio: fix oops when using uninitialized mutex

From: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>
Date: 2011-11-08 07:24:23 

The get_phy_id() routine (called via fsl_pq_mdio_find_free()) tries to acquire
the mdio_lock mutex which is only initialized when of_mdiobus_register() gets
called later. This causes the following oops:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc02eda74
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

Fix this by moving the of_mdiobus_register() call earlier.

This fix totally breaks the point of setting tbipa beforehand.
mdiobus_register will cause the bus to be scanned, and if any of the
PHYs are at the default address for tbipa, they won't be found. I have
a different fix which I will (re)submit today.

Yes, I sent a patch. Then he sent another patch which breaks things differently. I have not yet submitted my fix. My fix is to revert his patch, and then modify your updated device trees to automatically set the tbi to something.
