Hello,

It seems the prestera driver has never been tested as a module or in a
probe defer case:  

Hi Köry

Could you hack a -EPROBE_DEFER failure? If you can show that does not
work, the driver is clearly broken because phylink could return that.

That is how I have noticed the issue. I was trying to test my PSE pd692x0
driver as a module that prestera depends on (I will drop the PoE v3 soon).
The PSE core is returning -EPROBE_DEFER in case we can not find the PSE
provider.

Here is a boot dmesg for example:
