Re: [PATCH net-next v8 1/7] net: pse-pd: add notifier chain for controller lifecycle events

Introduce a blocking notifier chain that allows other subsystems to be
informed when a PSE controller is registered or unregistered, and
provide pse_register_notifier() / pse_unregister_notifier() as the
subscriber interface.

A follow-up change uses this to let the phy subsystem own the
phydev->psec lifecycle directly, decoupling PSE lookup from
fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy() and removing the probe-time
-EPROBE_DEFER coupling that currently exists between mdio, phy and
pse-pd when the PSE controller driver is modular.
